This is a story that should be viewed through numbers, not emotion. The ideal of electric two-wheelers is correct, but the market won't move unless price, range, and charging all align. I believe LiveWire's struggle isn't a rejection of the technology, it's a problem of sequencing in adoption. The key is how the next generation makes use of the pain that comes from being first.

They say demand isn't growing, but it bugs me that no concrete sales figures are mentioned.

Is LiveWire a company that spun off independently from Harley?

It's a company that spun off in 2022 and went public via SPAC, but the stock's been struggling ever since.

It was a similar story with Buell too, Harley's sub-brands get cut loose easily whenever it suits the parent company.

I want to root for electric bikes themselves, but maybe the US market, charging infrastructure included, just wasn't ready yet.

Just seeing 'on life support' in the headline tells you it's rough, and it feels like Harley itself is keeping its distance too.
