E-Motorcycle LiveWire Targets 100,000 Bikes Sold in 2026

Harley-Davidson’s electric spin-off brand LiveWire has made a bold statement. 100,000 electric motorcycles sold in 2026, and shifting of 190,000 units before the end of the decade. A wild claim considering the fact that this industry has yet to gain traction.

But if there is something Harley-Davidson has been good at, it is brand longevity. In a highly-competitive world of motorcycle manufacturing, the company has made it through the ups and downs. Their effective business practices also earned them their reputation.


Because of this, their LiveWire branch has been able to make strategic moves including partnerships and mergers, which may direct the company to go public and make it open to all investors.

Other reports expect the company to launch a new motorcycle model around the second half of 2022 named Del Mar. The said electric motorcycle will be built on the brand’s proprietary Arrow platform as reports claim.

In terms of business, an investor relations document revealed that the company has projected positive growth in the coming years. According to the document, the company was able to move 387 total units in 2021, including the LiveWire ONE and other Harley-Davidson-branded electric motorcycles. In 2022, it aims to sell about 957 units, then make a huge leap by 2023 with a total estimate of 7,236 units sold.

The document further revealed that LiveWire expects to double its 2023 estimates and sell about 15,000 units in 2024, and compound it at 50,000 by 2025 and reach its goal of 100,000 sales by 2026.

Wild numbers indeed.

Triumph Unveils Its 1st Electric Motorcycle Prototype

Image
As car companies race towards the emerging market of electric vehicles, motorcyle manufacturer Triumph is one step closer to making an official electric sport bike. The Triumph TE-1 is an electric motorcycle prototype pushing forward an all-electric future. This is a big news for the two-wheel industry as the electrification of motorcycles has been a hot topic for debate among enthusiasts. Despite the popularity of electric bicycles that promoted safe and friendly commuters, the motorcycle industry is filled with hardcore riders that just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) let go of the grease and oil and the ever-enchanting smell of gasoline. Motorcycle-riding is an experience after all. Removing one essential aspect of it is like removing a piece of its soul. But instead of being held-off by this stigma, Triumph is willing to gamble with the future. With this move, the company is poised to position itself among the pioneers, if the electric future is indeed as successful and as inevitabl...

Dongfeng M18 is China’s 1,070HP Electric SUV

Image
“High-end electric off-road brand,” was how Chinese automaker Dongfeng described itself. And to complete this claim, they made their own Hummer EV. It’s a pity, to tell you quite honestly. China has been making strides in the EV market, but they still continue making cheap knockoffs. Its 2022 yet “Made in China” still proves to be synonymous with shameless fake goods. The Dongfeng M18 is the EV version of the M50 Warrior – China’s infamous Hummer wannabe. This attempt to make an EV off-roader is the company’s answer to its market demand, as the government supports the EV transition, and as more people embrace more western-influenced products. In order to sell this, of course they had to impress people with (inflated) numbers. So here’s what the Dongfeng M18 has: One 800Kw motor making 1,070 horsepower 0-62 miles per hour in under 5 seconds 140kWh battery, with a range of 311 miles Weighs 6,384 pounds About 17 feet long, and over 7 feet wide
