Wow, I am impressed. You got your phone to connect to the bike?!?! Oh, good range too by the way.

So, did you actually get the promised 211 miles? If so, you’re doing better than my Audi etron!

P.S.: My best on the ELW is 126 miles.

This can be misleading the range algorythim adjust based on how the rider has been throttling the bike, so in theory if you travek at 20mhp or less stop and go traffic you shoud see really high numbers.
Ive seen mine in regualr stop and go traffic here in LA up to 156 miles at 45-45mph

I wish we could do this on the LW

Now I have seen bike with 25+ kw packs wichi are really close to that using Silicon Based Batteries.

@dcar70 - do you know if our first generation bikes will be able to accept newer battery technology if/when it becomes available?

I dont think the manufacturer would be inclined to do this.

Most likely you would need a highly talented 3rd party to do something like this in the future. They would need to be intemately involved with the BCM as well at the battery supplier to program the bike to accept the new cells and to know how to properly control the voltage delivery to the batteries.

It would be cheaper to get a newer more advance model when the time comes.

Just some of my thoughts

that's a bummer. I really like this bike and would like to see it running many years from now

Aside from the Livewire, I also currently have a 2014 Brammo Empulse that is still running perfectly with about 95% battery (5% battery life lost). I have no doubts that the Livewire will outlast the average motorcycle.
