The Formula E championship has seen some massive manufacturers join the sport in one way or the other. In a first, a bike maker is now associated with the electric series. Formula E racing team Envision Virgin Racing has signed a multi-year partnership with Harley-Davidson, with the American motorcycle maker set to feature on the team's electric racing cars. Harley's association with Formula E comes at a time when the company is at the forefront of its electrification plans for motorcycles. The announcement comes ahead of the 2019 Paris e-Prix scheduled for this weekend, while Harley-Davidson is gearing up to introduce its first electric motorcycle - LiveWire - later this year.
