A True Electric Glide

   It's an American classic. The Harley-Davidson Electric Glide. A motorcycle I always wanted. And now Harley has taken "Electric Glide" to the next level.
   They've come up with an electric motorcycle:

      Called the LiveWire, it's a bit of a gamble for Harley, since the only other electric bikes are nothing more than scooters. And while this is just a test phase, with the bike not fully marketed for a year or more yet. That's to allow engineers to get feedback from test riders.
   As for the statistics, LiveWire is said to be able to get from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and has a 130 mile range before it needs to be recharged, which takes about half an hour or more. And that's where any potential downfall lies. It's not a long-distance cruiser like the Electric Glide. It'd basically get from Yorkton to Regina, maybe a little further, on a single charge.
   And then, there's the noise. Part of the reason people get a Harley is for that V-twin rumble when idling, and the roar when you take off. The LiveWire is silent, although the gears hum, and apparently sound like a jet taking off.
   Maybe I'm just a little old fashioned (or just stubborn), but I think a Harley should sound like a Harley.
