We’ve recognized the new LiveWire Del Mar middleweight electrical road tracker was on its means for a couple of months now, however this flat-track-themed teaser video has us extra excited than ever. The new bike is launching subsequent week, truly subsequent Tuesday to be precise, and it seems to be like it will likely be an actual zinger. The new bike is sort of positively going to be smaller and lighter than the corporate’s flagship LiveWire One, bringing toe-dragging quick lap efficiency to the section in a means as but unseen.
I actually like LiveWire. I like them a lot I purchased certainly one of my very own. There’s simply one thing so unbelievable about electrical propulsion on two wheels, and the Del Mar seems to be prefer it’ll proceed that superior feeling. There’s no specs out there but, however hopefully the Del Mar exchanges some energy and torque for a bit extra vary than the LiveWire One.
Flat monitor motorbike racing is completely gnarly. It takes all the pieces out of rider and machine to get in a very good lap, not to mention a dozen at a time. This is precisely the type of motorsport that electrical bikes could be good at. The races are quick, and rely completely on a throttle that’s straightforward to modulate, and a powerband that gives shove out of the nook. It could be in LiveWire’s (and American Flat Track’s) curiosity to enter electrical bikes in grime flat monitor competitors.
Obviously this video leans closely on Harley-Davidson’s flat monitor success of the previous. LiveWire is technically a special model, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a part of the H-D household, and if it can’t solely play on that historical past, however proceed to develop extra of it sooner or later, I can’t fault them for that. Especially if the bike is any good. I look ahead to seeing extra of the bike subsequent week, and hopefully swinging a leg over it quickly!
