What begins as an internal project inside an iconic American brand often takes on a life of its own. Such is the playbook for LiveWire, the electric motorcycle company with roots deep inside Harley-Davidson. The journey started with "Project LiveWire" in 2014, a traveling roadshow to gauge customer interest in an electric-powered bike. Seeing the potential, Harley-Davidson officially launched LiveWire as a standalone brand in July 2021. The move was orchestrated under the leadership of Jochen Zeitz, the Chairman and CEO of both Harley-Davidson and LiveWire, to give the new venture the agility of a startup while leveraging the manufacturing heritage of its parent company. The strategy was clear: focus on the urban market and lead the electrification of the sport. A pivotal moment arrived in September 2022. LiveWire merged with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, in a deal valued at approximately $1.77 billion. This transaction made LiveWire the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the United States, listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LVW. The deal, which included a $100 million investment from Taiwanese manufacturer KYMCO, provided the capital to fund new product development and accelerate its go-to-market strategy. Harley-Davidson retained a majority 74% stake, ensuring the legacy and path forward remained intertwined.
