Harley-Davidson Inc. has stopped production and deliveries of its first electric motorcycle after discovering a problem related to the vehicle’s charging equipment, a major setback for a product the company is counting on to rejuvenate sales. The motorcycle maker said it has suspended production of the LiveWire model as it conducts tests to investigate the problem. Harley is banking on the electric bike to help jump-start sales in its core U.S. market. As a result, many are also available on the used market, potentially creating competition for the expensive new electric bikes. Harley said it isn’t yet releasing sales or production numbers for the electric bike.
