LiveWire is an electric motorcycle company that emerged as a spin-off from Harley-Davidson‘s electric division. It specializes in developing and producing cutting-edge electric motorcycles that combine the thrill of traditional motorcycles with the benefits of electric power. The company has recently divulged the highly anticipated specifications for its S2 Del Mar e-motorcycle. Priced at $15,499, this cutting-edge bike has garnered significant attention due to its impressive performance capabilities. Boasting a remarkable acceleration rate of zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.0 seconds, the S2 Del Mar possesses a top speed of 103 mph and generates 84 horsepower (63 kW).
The S2 Del Mar is more of a commuter motorcycle than a long-distance vehicle
Earlier this year, LiveWire provided initial specifications for the S2 Del Mar, but the official details have managed to surpass some of the already heightened expectations. Initially, the company projected a city range of 110 miles; however, the bike now boasts an impressive 113-mile urban riding range on a single charge. Similarly, the acceleration time of 3.0 seconds from zero to 60 mph is slightly faster than the initially advertised 3.1 seconds. Furthermore, the torque rating, previously stated as 184 pound-foot, has been upgraded to an impressive 194 ft-lb.
Nonetheless, the S2 Del Mar does come with a slightly increased weight of 436 lbs in running order, compared to the previously announced 431 lbs in April. The Level 2 charging time, required to charge the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent, has been adjusted to 78 minutes, a mere three minutes longer than the initial estimate of 75 minutes. It is important to note that the electric bike does not support fast charging and is limited to Level 1 and Level 2 capabilities. As a result, the S2 Del Mar is primarily designed as a commuter motorcycle, rather than a long-distance touring vehicle. Its highway driving range is rated at 43 miles sustained at 70 mph, with a combined range of 62 miles at a speed of 70 mph (combining highway and city driving). If the speed is reduced to 55 mph, the highway range extends to 70 miles, while the combined range reaches an impressive 86 miles.
Among its notable features, the S2 Del Mar supports over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing riders to receive the latest enhancements and improvements as they are developed. LiveWire’s website proudly states, “Now your motorcycle can receive updates and improvements as we develop them — keeping things easy, and keeping you riding.” Equipped with a four-inch round screen, the bike seamlessly connects to smartphones via USB-C and offers app-based navigation for added convenience.
