H-D to go public with their LiveWire electric motorcycle brand
« on: December 13, 2021, 05:26:46 PM »
Motorcycle.com has just published an article regarding H-D going public with their LiveWire electric motorcycle company. Here is their financing plan, which frankly I don't really understand:

ABIC will put in $400 million (held in trust, pending no redemptions from its shareholders), with Harley-Davidson and Kymco each investing $100 million. Harley-Davidson will retain a 74% equity interest in LiveWire. ABIC
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.
