They are great bikes but the price is out of this world for what they are. Not to mention there is only like a dozen dealers in the US where you can even buy one.
LiveWire designs and markets their bikes towards Harley owners, not to mention costs more than a Harley. A typical Harley owner does not want an ev. They mostly buy a Harley for the sound and for the community.
What I did not see mentioned in that article was how Kawasaki's new ev's and hybrids are selling like hot cakes and they can't seem to make them fast enough because they are actually affordable and can be easily gotten.
