Reader's Choice Best Electric Motorcycle of 2015: Harley-Davidson LiveWire
When it comes to creating a splash in the moto world, perhaps no one in the past year did it better than Harley-Davidson when it unveiled an electric motorcycle. H-D, long known as a company tied firmly to vintage roots, shocked everyone with its electrically powered LiveWire.
Harley-Davidson LiveWire First Ride
The first electric motor from the Motor Company made an impression on millions around the globe, including our readers who voted the LiveWire as the top motorcycle in our Readers Choice Electric category. The LiveWire has an appealing stance, attractive finish quality and a surprisingly dynamic performance on the road, which earned our respect. Yours, too.
Discuss this at our Harley-Davidson LiveWire Forum.
Now all the LiveWire needs is a reasonable MSRP and a commitment to be put into production. Until then, Motorcycle.com’s Best Electric – the Zero SR – remains the choice of our editors.

Seriously? A product that is yet to hit the market? I bet Zero and Brammo are very happy about it. I pick the 74 Z speeder bike featured in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as my favorite. Super fast adventure bike that can handle laser fire.
Gotta admit, I'm a bit puzzled. Over five years ago Kevin Duke assured me that practical battery technology was only 3-5 years away. Yet the number of electric motorcycles I've seen on the road still equals nada. So my question is, what is it now that's only three to five years away that will make electric motorcycles something that more than a handful of people will buy? I mean, with the battery shortcomings now being conquered and all?
