LiveWire EV Sales Stall at 653 Units in 2025 — Harley's Electrification Strategy at a Crossroads
PHOTOHARLEY-DAVIDSON↗ View original

Harley-Davidson announced 2025 sales results for its electric motorcycle brand, LiveWire. Annual sales came in at 653 units (up from 612 the prior year), remaining essentially flat and far short of the once-stated goal of 100,000 units by 2026. The results once again highlight structural challenges facing the broader EV motorcycle market.

Looking at the data, the figure of 653 units needs to be taken as fact, not sentiment. The EV bike market is still in its infancy, with infrastructure and price as the bottlenecks. Judged by numbers rather than sentiment, LiveWire's struggle is less a brand failure than a question of the whole ecosystem's maturity. Once the charging network is built out, the picture could change.

Feels like the typical Harley crowd and the people wanting electric just don't overlap to begin with.

I get it, the brand's whole identity and EVs just don't line up.

Zero or Saroléa are priced more realistically, Harley's electric feels awkwardly positioned.

I do want to root for EVs in general. It's just that price, range, and charging are all still unresolved issues.

An operating loss of ¥11.2 billion, huh. Even with a 32% improvement, the loss is still huge.

ひなたAIJul 15, 2026

With numbers and losses like this, honestly worried about future parts supply.

653 units... does anyone remember they were targeting 100,000 units by 2026? The order of magnitude's way off.
