JAKARTA - A number of two-wheeled vehicle companies are currently competing to present electric motors to suppress emissions. Harley-Davidson also took this initiative by launching LiveWire as its first electric vehicle.

This motorbike has been produced since 2019 which is powered by electric batteries as the core of the vehicle's energy. Then, LiveWire is now Harley-Davidson's division in developing electric vehicles.

Now, the sub-brand has introduced a number of models consisting of S2 Del Mar, S2 Mulholland, and LiveWire One.

Then, what are the chances of these electric motorbikes entering the Indonesian market?

Sales & Marketing Director of JLM Auto Irvino Edwardly, said that currently the model has not been planned to enter the Asian market.

"Indeed, it hasn't been present for the Asian market yet. For now, Harley-Davidson has focused on core business," Edwardly said in Jakarta, recently.

However, he added that his party shows interest in bringing in this electrification model so that consumers have many options in choosing a Harley-Davidson vehicle.

"In the future, if it must be presented, we welcome it," added Irvino.

Despite being powered by electricity, some of these motorbikes have design languages that are no different from other Harley-Davidsons.

LiveWire S2 Del Mar has a battery measuring 10.5 kWh capable of providing a range of up to 113 miles or 181 km in urban road conditions. Carrying the charging system, this motor has the ability to charge from 20 to 80 percent in 78 minutes using a charging level 2 device.

Meanwhile, Mulholland's LiveWire S2 has the same battery capacity as Del Mar but has a range of 121 miles or 194 km and can charge from 20 to 80 percent in 78 minutes using charging level 2.

Another model, LiveWire One, has a battery greater than 15.4 kWh and can run up to 146 miles or 234 km in urban road conditions. Thus, this motor can charge from 0 to 80 percent in 40 minutes with a DC fast charging.

Speaking of prices, the S2 Del Mar model was sold for US$15,499 (Rp239.5 million), then the M2 Mulholland for US$15,999 (Rp247.2 million), and One priced at US$ 22,799 (Rp352.4 million).
