Hi Steemit family!

The motorcycles have an emblematic historical tradition, from the manufacture of the first bicycle until the moment when the first motorcycle was built this invention went through many transformations to be what it is today, today the range of motorcycles is impressive, we can see touring motorcycles, motorcycles to make cross, racing motorcycles, chopper motorcycles to travel long distances, only that the vast majority run on fossil fuel, if there were only motorcycles in the world perhaps would not generate much pollution after all not use much fuel, however this was not a reason for one of the most representative brands in the world to take a turn and rethink how to continue in the business without fossil fuel, I'm talking about Harley-Davidson and its first electric motorcycle called LiveWire, join me to know the main features of this impressive machine.

In 2014 the company Harley-Davidson began the route to become a company in solidarity with the environment, after long discussions decided to create the prototype to take the proposal to the exhibition halls, the first show was in the prestigious Milan 2018 motorcycle show where all motorcycle manufacturers show their latest designs, and the surprise was given by Harley-Davidson presenting its model LiveWire fully electric.

Not only did they plan to change the style of making motorcycles, they have also begun to design electric bicycles under the LiveWire project, this means that it will not be the only model this will be the beginning of a revolution and restructuring within the company, both the bicycles and the motorcycle of the LiveWire project will be launched on the market in 2019.

The last presentation of the Harley-Davidson LiveWire was presented at the world's most important technology fair CES 2019 where they presented some updates and expressed the firm commitment to generate by 2022 a varied number of electric motorcycles and bicycles, in response to a call from the technology sector that promises to break relationships partially with fossil fuels, although cars, bicycles and now motorcycles are electric does not mean that no more oil is used, much of the parts are still manufactured through the petrochemical industry, I think this should be reviewed as it could mean stopping using fossil fuels but not stop producing plastic parts.

It's no coincidence that companies like Nissan celebrate their 70th birthday with an electric car, the estimated launch date for 2019 coincides with Harley-Davidson's 115th birthday.

Harley-Davidson has not given many technical details about the bike of the project, the little that report was about the electric motor that will be equipped with magnets that will add a very good power of acceleration, removing from the design the clutch and the gearbox.

This brand is related to rough types and travelers, noisy and aggressive motorcycles, and apparently have not forgotten the sound, so they added a system to increase the sound depending on the speed being driven.

Among its technical features we find that it is a very light bike because its chassis is made of aluminum, and in a way gives a bit of intelligent bike due to a fully customizable color TFT screen capable of connecting to our Smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing download GPS, have notifications, listen to music, as well as data related to the available energy or speed at which we go.

They anticipated that their stores would have a completely free recharging station, although the bike will be equipped with a level one system that will be able to recharge it in our own home.

We will be watching for new updates and the final price, as well as the technical specifications, the launch is estimated for March 2019.
