According to a report on Bloomberg, this announcement comes four years after Harley unveiled its “LiveWire” project, a prototype all-electric motorcycle.

The report further states: "the new motorcycle, which was not named, will carry a roughly 50-mile (+-80km/h) range and be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (+-97km/h) in four seconds. By comparison, Zero’s SR hits 60m/h in 3.3 seconds, and the Mission R racer has a top speed of more than 150mph (+-241km/h), with a sub-three-second sprint time."

One might think the electric motorcycle industry is small and while that may be true, it is growing slowly but surely. In fact, market research firm TechNavio projected 45% growth in the electric motorcycle industry by 2020 in a 2016 report.
