I have the Livewire One and I love it. And yes, on paper and anecdotally, this is the highest performing motorcycle Harley has made.

It's just the type of on-board charger. It's a small charger. 1,4 is also the minimum for CCS standards to commence charging. I wonder if you could swap the OBC for a 3kW version. I might as well. Makes live just a bit easier on the road when you get a bite in a city with AC stalls. Pun intended in the missing the smell, right😉

[@WeatherManAP]

Pun intended lol. Although Ford sold a gasoline scented cologne for those missing the smell when they buy the mustang Mach e. Also I didn’t even think the OBC could be swapped out. Very interesting.

Had one for over 2 years, 18k on it, and sold it. Definitely miss it for its shear acceleration, smoothness, balance, and silence. I'll come back to the electric world once the recharge time is reduced. Or if they move to solid state batteries.

[@WeatherManAP]

Yeah the charging time is a big obstacle. I charge at home so I am always able to have it charging while sleeping so it really doesn’t affect me. It seems that EVs would only work best right now for those that have their own house, which seems less and less these days unfortunately.

@@WeatherManAP yep, that's what I loved about it. Waking up to a fully charged bike made for an excellent commuter. Things fall apart when someone wants to cross states and not lose travel time at charging stations.

[@WeatherManAP]

@@R3alR00tux yeah the EV fast charging infrastructure isn’t great right now. Tesla is doing pretty well. I also have a Tesla and it’d be neat to charger the bike at a Tesla supercharger since there are more of them around.

[@R3alR00tux]

@@WeatherManAP same, got a 2023 model 3 performance. Kinda regressed with purchasing an ICE bike, but I'll be back :)

[@WeatherManAP]

@@R3alR00tux nice! I was able to get a really good deal on a lightly used 10k mile 1 year old long range. It had FSD and acceleration boost already unlocked, so it’s close to being a performance lol.
