- Harley-Davidson resumes LiveWire production and delivery
- Had encountered charging-related glitch in the electric motorcycle
- Assures that the LiveWire is safe to be charged by all methods now
After halting the production and deliveries of the LiveWire electric motorcycle earlier this month, Harley-Davidson has now reportedly resumed all operations related to its first electric motorcycle.
According to the online reports which had emerged last week, Harley-Davidson had encountered a glitch related to the charging mechanism of the LiveWire during its quality tests. This was followed by the company requesting the existing owners of the e-bike to charge the motorcycle only at dedicated points in Harley dealerships. The low-power charging points in the residences would have had proved harmful for the motorcycle. The American bikemaker had also stopped shipping the motorcycle to the dealers.
Now, a new update states that after a detailed scrutiny carried out by Harley, the company has conveyed that the charging-related fault was observed in a single unit of the LiveWire. Subsequently, the manufacturer has also given a go-ahead to the owners to charge their motorcycles by all methods, including residential as well as dealership charging points.
The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is the company’s first production electric motorcycle besides the huge line-up of petrol-powered cruisers and tourers it has for years. While it is already on sale in the American and European markets, the company is expected to officially launch the motorcycle in India next year. The LiveWire is the first product under the brand’s ‘More Roads to Harley-Davidson’ plan which will be added with more electric models and ICE-based ADV, streetfighter and faired bike, in the coming years.
