Some of us have wondered where exactly Harley got the expertise to build the Live Wire prototypes, well Harley didn't "get" the experience, they bought it, from Mission Motors.
Mission, as in the people who made THIS
Mission is by far the most advanced and technically superior e-bike R&D company...
By producing an EV, Harley-Davidson would attract a young, liberal, urban market that until now has been inaccessible to America's oldest and most conservative motorcycle company. Harley-Davidson executives in Milwaukee secretly contacted Mission Motors, in San Francisco, and contracted them to engineer an electric drivetrain.
Cool. So do you think that in the future Harley might try to buy Mission or just partner with them, or will they develop their own e-drivetrain when the production Livewire comes out?
It wouldn't be a bad idea, I think harley might want to look into that as the sport bike segment will also need electric bikes and we know HD has money!
That's the way it should be, their bikes are more along the lines of casual so I think it's good that they introduced new tech while still keeping it a bit consistent with what they already offer. At least then it helps them set the stage to transition into other area's with that tech
Harley doesn't really make any sport bikes right now do they? I would think that they would make a petrol powered sport bike before they try to make a pure electric one.

H-D Enthusiasts,
I just got my LiveWire and am loving it! Am also relocating from Nashville to San Francisco, so am considering a cross-country trip. Has anyone tried something similar with the LiveWire? Any particular routes to avoid due to lack of charging? Thought of doing Route 66, but...
Good read here on where Harley-Davidson sits at the most macro level and it isn't good:

I had a strange charging event today at an Evgo charging station. It shut off 2 times in a row after 9 minutes. This was enough to get me home. So I did not try a third time.
I called EVGO and they checked the charger and said the bike told the charger to turn off.
Is there any way to set...
