The LiveWire ONE won't come with any Harley-Davidson branding on its bodywork

A six-axis inertaial measurement unit (IMU) constantly monitors direction changes of the LiveWire ONE, and measures and anticipates dynamic changes, and powers the cornering-enhanced ABS and traction control systems. Drag-Torque Slip Control (DSCS) manages rear-wheel slip and prevents rear-wheel lock when using regenerative braking.

On a conventional 110 v home wall socket, the LiveWire ONE can be charged 100 per cent in 11 hours, while with a DC Fast Charger, it can be 100 per cent charged in just one hour. Performance is claimed with acceleration timings of 0 to 97 kmph in just 3 seconds, and 100 to 130 kmph acceleration in 1.9 seconds, with a top speed of 180 kmph. The LiveWire ONE doesn't seem to have any Harley-Davidson branding at all, and instead has LiveWire branding all over the bodywork. The ONE can be ordered online in the US. So far, Harley-Davidson has not announced any plans of introducing the LiveWire ONE in India.
