LiveWire Group Unveils Two New Electric Prototypes at Harley-Davidson Homecoming

Last weekend, at Harley-Davidson’s Homecoming Festival, we introduced something totally new and people took notice. We surprised everyone by unveiling two all-new electric motorcycle prototypes that represent the future we’re building toward: small, simple, and seriously fun to ride.

Think the spirit of 125cc-class minimotos, but reimagined for today. Fully electric, instantly torquey, and designed for you and your hobbies.

Two Prototypes, One Big Idea

We built these two versions around the same concept: fun-sized electric motorcycles that are easy to ride, easy to own, and easy to love. Whether you’re new to riding, returning after a break, or just looking for something different, these bikes are made to fit your lifestyle, not the other way around.

Quick Stats (Prototype, Subject to Change):

Seat Height: ~30”
Weight: ~250 lbs
Acceleration: 0–30 mph in 3.0 seconds
Top Speed: ~53 mph
Range: ~100 miles
Battery System: Two removable, swappable batteries. Charge on the bike or in a dock.
Displacement Equivalent: 125cc

Choose Your Style

Trail
This one’s all about the outdoors. Designed for backyards, dirt paths, RV parks, and family adventures, it’s rugged, simple, and made for low-key fun wherever you find it. Whether you’re fishing, hunting, camping with friends, or tearing around the property, this one’s down for the dust, the pines, and the road less traveled.

Street
The Street version is perfect for city commutes, weekend cruises, and custom projects. Small, agile, and instantly fun, it’s built for anyone who wants two-wheeled freedom without the full-size commitment.

Recap: Wheels & Waves 2025

On the rugged edge of southwestern France, where the Pyrenees slip into the Atlantic, sits Biarritz, a coastal city known for its surf breaks, café culture, and natural cool. Once a royal retreat, now a haven for artists, skaters, surfers, and riders, it’s also home to Wheels & Waves, one of the most eclectic motorcycle events on the planet.
