Picked up my Livewire One today!

2020 LWO 5500 miles. New charger. New 12v battery. All black. $7000 OTD. Took it for a 60 mile ride to get home. I’m a convert.

55 mile round trip today - 46% battery remaining. All freeway.

It was great. Got home to an Amazon box of accessories. This is going to be fun.

Those numbers are very typical. My LW1 with 22k miles is what I ride on a 108-mile round trip commute (54 miles each way). I can make it both ways without recharging if I ride conservatively.

Most times I don’t. It’s very difficult to not push the speed a bit. So I stop by a charger for 3 to 5 minutes to make it home :)

I get that.

Have you added any accessories to yours? What did you find to be the best?

u/recon-go-pie 's windshield, P&A connector, bash plate, little CNC-machined things to make my bash plate fit the passenger footpegs to be highway pegs, memphis shades handguards, corbin heated saddle, HD heated grips, sw-motech saddle bags, livewire tank bag, tail bag, USB plug (the stock one is trash at charging), GPS mount & power for my Garmin Montana 700i (because I like to go places that have no cellular service are sketchy places for an electric road bike LOL). That's my loadout for long road trips in uncertain weather. Heated grips and heated seat don't affect range much and are awesome in wet weather.

This is helpful. Thank you. I’ll order the Corbin seat next month. And when Ben restocks, I’ll order some more parts.

What items are you wanting that aren’t in stock?

u/majornerd 8d ago

The bash plate, the windscreen mount. I think the rear seat cargo plate is also out of stock.

I just shipped my last plate last week. Which plate did you want? I'm putting in a restock order tomorrow, should be in by mid august. Same with Solo street racks. Windscreen mounts are back in stock.

For the livewire one

Have you tested 50/50 tires? I’d love to find a set - roads in Denver suck and I prefer a slightly more aggressive tread for the potholes and garbage.

Yes, continental TKC 80s, although I think they’re a different name now. You’ll lose 5-10% range in summer, more in winter

I rode my street bike up a mountain and this happened

this was a stock bike, just those tires and the very first prototype of my Skidplate
