LiveWire releasing a mini bike in the ¥500,000-ish range made me do a double take. It's a swing in the exact opposite direction from their traditional high-priced electric sport bikes. Splitting it into Trail and Street personalities gets my heart racing too. Being KYMCO-built also has me dying to know where they landed the balance between mass production and quality.

What did you think?

How far can the Honcho actually go? Would it handle a 15km one-way commute?

Gotta give them credit for bringing LiveWire down to this price point. Solid option as an entry point.

For the same price bracket, I'd just buy Honda's Class-2 moped instead. Factoring in range and charging, it's no contest.

A $5000 bike under the LiveWire name that's actually built by KYMCO in Taiwan inside... isn't that selling the brand a bit cheap?

Harley's electric sub-brand being an OEM small-displacement bike, really feels like times have changed.

Electrifying the 125cc class is the right direction. Plenty for city riding.

About ¥750,000, huh. Honestly a bit much for an EV equivalent to a 125cc moped. Gas is still cheaper.
