LiveWire (NYSE:LVWR) stock is in the news Wednesday as the electric motorcycle company makes its trading debut today.

That debut comes after the company completed its special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with AEA-Bridges. This has it completing its spinoff from Harley-Davidson (NYSE:HOG) to become the first independent publicly-traded electric motorcycle company in the U.S.

The public debut brings an end to LiveWire’s plans to go public announced last year. The final move needed for the SPAC merger was shareholder approval. Fortunately, the two companies got that last week.
