You’ve seen the spyshots and read the report, now it is official: Harley-Davidson’s Project Livewire electric bike will make its silver screen appearance in the upcoming Marvel film Avengers: Age of Ultron.
As previously reported, the iconic American brand’s new Project Livewire electric bike is not for sale just yet, but is being offered for evaluation and tests to a select list of riders. But this has not stopped in letting comic book heroine Black Widow from riding one in the upcoming Avengers film. In fact, Project Livewire’s existence was first confirmed after eagle-eyed spy photographers spotted in on the film’s set recently.
Furthermore, H-D has had a fairly successful campaign with the Marvel movie franchise after having all-American hero Captain America played by Chris Evans ride a few of the brand’s models on the silver screen. Experts also believe that the Marvel-H-D tie in for Project Livewire could prove crucial at introducing the brand’s first ever silent running electric bike towards the firm’s non-traditional consumer demographics.
Nevertheless, we are eager and anxious to see the bike in action on screen when it releases in theatres starting May next year.
