Harley-Davidson makes LiveWire its own brand of electric motorcycles

Motorcycle Brand

LiveWire, Harley-Davidson’s first electric motorcycle, will now become its own stand-alone brand. The Milwaukee-based company has announced that it will transform its electric motorcycle division into its own company with a distinct lineup and tailor-made retail experience. Harley-Davidson plans to unveil the “First LiveWire Brand Motorcycle†on July 8 to coincide with the International Motorcycle Show.

It’s a similar move to how Harley-Davidson approached its new e-bike company, Serial 1. The idea is for LiveWire to continue to benefit from its relationship with its parent company while forging its own distinct brand identity. from Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson wants to leave its electrified models on their own terms

It’s a change from how the company has approached its current LiveWire model, in which the Harley-Davidson logo is on the front and center, while the LiveWire branding is virtually non-existent. And that’s a sign that in the future, Harley-Davidson wants to leave its electrified models on their own terms.

“With the mission to be the world’s most desirable electric motorcycle brand, LiveWire will pioneer the future of motorcycling, for the pursuit of urban adventure and beyond,” said Jochen Zeitz, President – Managing Director of Harley-Davidson. A declaration. “LiveWire also plans to innovate and develop technology that will be applicable to Harley-Davidson electric motorcycles in the future.”

There is a new logo and a new “virtual†headquarters, with engineering teams stationed in Silicon Valley and Milwaukee. LiveWire will work with Harley-Davidson dealers as an independent brand, with a mix of digital and physical retail formats.

When asked if this would include online orders, a Harley-Davidson spokesperson responded with a cautiously drafted statement. “It depends on what state you live in,†the spokesperson said. “LiveWire creates a buying journey that allows us to meet the expectations of a first digital shopping experience, supported by a network of engaged resellers who allow customers to choose their journey and engagement model. “

The question is whether this branding strategy will lead to better sales for Harley-Davidson’s electric models. Last year, Reuters reported that the company’s plan to attract a younger generation of motorcyclists with LiveWire was in trouble, with most pre-orders coming from older or pre-existing customers. Harley-Davidson’s overall sales have stagnated of late after hitting a low point in 2018.

The problem could be that the price, which starts at $ 29,799, isn’t much cheaper than a Tesla Model 3. Dealers have said Reuters that many younger customers were put off by the price.

Harley-Davidson also faces stiff competition from rivals like Zero Motorcycles, which recently partnered with powersports maker Polaris on a new line of electric ATVs and snowmobiles. And as the larger world of transportation goes electric, the company will come under increasing pressure from its shareholders to prove that its vision for the future can pay off.

Soriano Motori is reborn as a brand of high-performance electric motorcycles

Motorcycle Brand

Since the 1950s, a Soriano motorcycle has not been launched. But that is about to change as the famous Spanish motorcycle brand is restarted by an Italian company as a manufacturer of fully electric motorcycles.

The new electric motorcycles from Soriano Motori

And as part of the relaunch, Soriano Motori shares the specifications of its three new electric motorcycles exclusively with Electrek.

The new electric motorcycles are known as Soriano Giaguaro, which means Jaguar in Italian.

In some ways, they stick to Soriano’s classic design heritage, such as with their aluminum beam fork suspension.

In other respects, they depart sharply from the methods of the past, replacing gasoline engines with liquid-cooled electric motors.

The Giaguaro V1 Gara is the flagship model and has an advanced 75 kW (100 hp) electric motor. and a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds. That would put it on par with the Zero SR / F electric motorcycle, albeit a bit slower than the Harley-Davidson LiveWire’s 3-second 0-60mph time.

The Giaguaro V1S is slightly quieter with a peak 72 kW (96 hp) engine and a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds.

Finally, the Giaguaro V1R brings up the rear with a 60 kW (80 hp) engine and a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. Still not too shabby!

screen-shot-2020-07-01-at-8-42-17-am

The bikes certainly look like what you would expect from an Italian sports bike company and should shame Ducati for dragging their feet when it comes to electric motorcycles.

As the founder of Soriano Motori Corporation, Marco A. Soriano, explained in a press release to Electrek:

“Soriano Motori Corp’s motorcycles represent the best Italian design, image, branding, architecture and engineering, which for the first time are being applied to electric motorcycles for the next generation of bikers. Soriano Motori motorcycle owners are assured of the look, feel and lifestyle of what they love about motorcycles, fused with the exhilaration of a strong brand proud of made in Italy. We balance elegance and innovation to deliver something transcendent for motorcycle culture.

screen-shot-2020-07-01-at-8-55-48-am

The bike’s beam forks aren’t the only design aspect reminiscent of early Soriano motorcycles.

They also feature another retro design that you won’t find on most electric motorcycles today: manual transmissions. All three bikes include three-speed manual gearboxes that could squeeze even more performance from their engines, but are more likely designed to add to the sporty riding experience.

There are a few other electric motorcycle designs we’ve seen in recent years that sport manual gearboxes, such as those from KYMCO and Horwin, but very few have actually hit the road.

While the Soriano Giaguaros can be sporty, that doesn’t necessarily translate to long-distance driving. Bikes offer options for 15kWh or 20kWh batteries, but the ranges are listed as 120-160km (75-100 miles). Surely enough for the track, but it remains to be seen how far the Italian riders can venture into the Italian countryside.

screen-shot-2020-07-01-at-9-09-34-am

To be fair, at an efficiency of 200 Wh / mi, these range estimates are probably given at highway speeds. For comparison, a Zero SR / F has a range of 132 km (88 miles) at 112 km / h (70 mph) with a 14.4 kWh battery. This translates into an efficiency barely greater than that of the Soriano Giaguaro, and this is another indicator that the Italians give us ratings of autonomy on the motorway.

And speaking of Italian design, you didn’t expect these bikes to be cheap, did you? Soriano Motori only produced a first limited series of 100 motorcycles for its first production series. This pushes the prices quite high, ranging from the “entry-level†Giaguaro V1R which starts at € 25,000 to the flagship Giaguaro V1 Gara which starts at € 30,000.

What do you think of Soriano’s rebirth as an electric motorcycle company? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

Revolt RV400 Electric Motorcycle Price Raised To Rs 1.04 Lakh Due To Increased Entry Costs

Motorcycle Price

Intellicorp Revolt Pvt. Ltd. announced an increase in the price of the RV400 due to increased input costs. The new cost, applicable from February 29, 2020, will result in the cost of the My Revolt plan at Rs 3,999 per month (for 38 months plus Rs 3,999 as a single booking amount)

The Revolt Cash Down plan will now cost Rs 103,999 (plus Rs 3,999 as a one-time booking amount). The price of the RV300 remains unchanged – Rs 2,999 per month (for 36 months plus Rs 2,999 as the reservation amount) and a deposit of Rs 84,999 (plus Rs 2,999 as the reservation amount).

The RV300 and RV400 created waves just a few months after their launch. In this phase of accelerated growth, the company succeeds in reducing the RV400’s wait time from 5 months to just 90 days for orders from March.

In a recent announcement made by the company, it aims to expand its sales network to four new cities in India. Speaking of motorcycles, Revolt RV400 is one of the pioneers in the Indian segment of electric motorcycles. With a range of 150 km, the electric motorcycle offers a host of features, including a sound support system that mimics ICE sound. The bike was launched in India at Rs 98,999 (ex-showroom). The AI-enabled motorcycle is powered by the Revolt app which is available on Android and iOS.

Cagiva will be reborn as an electric motorcycle brand by 2021

Motorcycle Brand

Cagiva started making gasoline motorcycles in 1978. Famous for her achievements in motorsport and of course the sportswoman Mito has many fans all over the world. However, the company has gone through various ownership and restructuring, and the last motorcycle was launched in 2012 under the ownership of MV Agusta.

The electric Cagiva

Sources say MV Agusta is bringing Cagiva back to build electric motorcycles. Therefore, this plan aims to increase its sales target from around 3,000 units to 25,000 units.

Thanks to this plan, Cagiva will be reborn as an “electric urban mobility†brand by 2021. The new Cagiva will manufacture electric motorcycles for city driving. While the plan also includes pushing MV Agusta to enter the electric motorcycle market according to CEO Timur Sardarov.

As quoted by Riders Drivemag, “Cagiva production will resume next year, no later than early 2021, and will be dedicated to electric urban mobility,” Sardarov told Motociclismo.

“But we won’t make scooters, they will be motorcycles. Easy to drive and below 4kW, because at the moment no one who produces above this threshold can generate profits. In 6 or 7 years, it will probably be possible to achieve the benefit with vehicles equivalent to 350cc, â€added Sardarov.

In terms of product design and specification, we can’t wait to see what MV Agusta has to offer. With their recent announcements on their latest product line and their partnership with Chinese automaker Loncin. MV Agusta will undoubtedly embark on its game in the years to come.

voge-er10-1

VOGE ER10

Previously, under Loncin’s premium line, VOGE, Loncin unveiled the VOGE ER 10 at EICMA 2019 in Milan. The ER10 is an electric motorbike that can be used on the motorway for use in the city. Could the new Cagiva look like the ER10? We will wait and see what MV Agusta deploys in the years to come!

cagiva-header-2

Cagiva is reborn as an electric motorcycle brand with affordable small bikes

Motorcycle Brand

The famous Italian motorcycle brand Cagiva looks set to make a comeback with a new range of motorcycles. Except unlike its classic gasoline models, Cagiva is reborn as an electric motorcycle company.

Founded in 1978, Cagiva originally focused on gasoline off-road motorcycles.

The brand has expanded its offering over time and the company has undergone various restructurings and changes in ownership.

The last Cagiva motorcycles rolled off the chain in 2012 when the company was owned by parent company MV Agusta.

MV Agusta had gone through his own series of financial hurdles, but now appears to be back on solid footing. With sales taking off, MV Agusta is now looking towards an electric future. And he plans to revamp the Cagiva brand to make it happen.

As MV Agusta first announced its aspirations to breathe new (and electric) life into Cagiva in 2018 with an accelerated schedule, the company has updated its plans and says the time is right. Over the next 12 months, Cagiva plans to launch its first electric motorcycle.

But don’t expect to see a fat electric sports bike like MV Agusta’s Italian cousin Energica. Instead, Cagiva is focusing on smaller electric motorcycles in the 4 kW (5.3 hp) range. I have long been a supporter of those electric motorcycles which bridge the gap between e-bikes and e-sports bikes.

Cagiva is expected to produce light electric motorcycles, perhaps similar to this Sur Ron Light Bee

So far, no one has seen an electric Cagiva model and there are no images or renderings yet to show what Cagiva is working on. But according to Canadian Automotive Guide, Cagiva’s parent company MV Agusta is teaming up with Chinese motorcycle company Loncin to build a new 350cc gasoline motorcycle.

While that might not mean much to electric motorcycle fans like us, consider this: Loncin recently showcased an impressive electric motorcycle produced under its premium subsidiary VOGE. The ER 10 electric motorcycle, with which we got closer at EICMA 2019 in Milan, perfectly matches what Cagiva is looking for: a light and low-power electric motorcycle in the equivalent range of 150 to 250 cm3.

At a top speed of 100 km / h (62 mph), the VOGE ER 10 sits somewhere between highway-compatible electric motorcycles like the entire Zero lineup and smaller electric motorcycles designed just for city commuting.

The VOGE ER 10’s liquid-cooled, 6 kW (8 hp) mid-drive, swingarm mounted motor of the VOGE ER 10 actually peaks at a higher power output and should be sufficient for sporty acceleration, especially on a bike that doesn’t. weighs only 115 kg (250 lbs).

voge-er-10-header

The VOGE ER 10 electric motorcycle, from a Loncin subsidiary

And as if this story didn’t have enough layers already, we can take this a step further. The VOGE ER 10 is actually based on the Sur Ron White Ghost, an electric motorcycle design created by Sur Ron in 2018, but never released to the market. As the story unfolds, Loncin bought the rights to the White Ghost and used it to produce his first electric motorcycle under the VOGE brand.

All this to say that an electric motorcycle designed by a Chinese startup that could be produced by a premium Chinese subsidiary of a larger Chinese motorcycle company could serve as the basis for the first electric motorcycle produced by an Italian motorcycle brand revamped under the leadership of a larger Italian motorcycle maker who hopes to compete with a next wave of smaller Asian electric motorcycles. * Stop for the air *
