Learn moreFor all the talk of Harley-Davidson being set in its ways, the 123-year-old brand was actually kinda ahead of the curve when it came to one burgeoning category.While the original LiveWire was hardly the first electric motorcycle, its debut in 2019 put it well ahead of most traditional moto brands.At $13,999, the ONE has never cost less, making it arguably the most compelling LiveWire bike right now. - Credit: LiveWireHowever, as a new-wave bike from a legacy brand with an old-school fan base, its original asking price of $29,799 was, well, asking a lot.AdvertisementAdvertisementFast-forward seven years and you can now snag this puppy for $13,999, which suddenly makes the (since re-christened) LiveWire ONE arguably the most compelling LiveWire bike on the menu.Electric avenueNow, there are enough caveats here to make your head spin faster than the ONE's wheels, but let me try to break things down quickly.Thanks to the Revelation powertrain, the LiveWire ONE tops out at 110 mph, beating the S2 Alpinista's 99 mph ceiling. - Credit: LiveWireThat original price did not last too long, as LiveWire dropped it to $22,799 in 2021, when it spun off into its own company/brand.The figure later dropped to $16,499, but it hits its lowest price ever as the brand shifts focus to its S2 platform and, more promisingly, the S4 Honcho mini-bikes, which are among the most logical and exciting electric executions I've seen lately.Harley was relatively early to EVs: the LiveWire debuted in 2019, long before most legacy brands entered the space. - Credit: LiveWireThat said, if you are seriously considering a full-size electric LiveWire moto, the ONE might really be the one to get now.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs motorcycling.com's Dennis Chung points out, the price is now just a grand more than the top-line S2 Alpinista, while the bike itself puts up more robust numbers in many categories.The bike comes in Liquid Black, Horizon White and Nebula Red and, all things considered, looks pretty damn good. - Credit: LiveWireTo name a few, the range is 146 miles versus 120, horsepower is 100 versus 84, the top speed is 110 mph versus 99 mph and the DC Fast Charging 0-100% time is 60 minutes, versus the Alpinista's Level 2 mark of … 142 minutes.The ONE is admittedly much heavier (562 pounds versus 434 pounds) and takes a huge L on torque (84 lb-ft to 194 lb-ft), but considering both bikes go 0-60 mph in three seconds, who's counting?Three seconds to 60 mph is a pulse-pounding performance stat that still holds up. - Credit: LiveWireFinal caveat: the ONE was last EPA-certified as a 2023 model, so this is clearly a case of a brand trying to clear out inventory, not a new bike.AdvertisementAdvertisementBut the specs remain and, looked at another way, that model year only adds to the "vintage" appeal, right? Right??Availability and pricingThe (presumably) 2023 LiveWire ONE is available now for $13,999.LiveWire ONE Starts at $13,999 About the Author:Now managing editor, Steve has served in a variety of roles with GP since 2019.
