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.

Harley-Davidson has announced its plans for a electric bike spin off called Serial 1 nearly a year ago. Now, the company is planning on selling “limited” number of its upcoming retro inspired electric bike model later this year.

The model going on sale is the S1 Mosh/Tribute that pays an homage to the “Serial Number One,” which was the Harley-Davidson’s oldest motorcycle built back in 1903. This early bike model from the brand had features white tires, leather saddle and handgrips, along with a sleek black frame with gold lettering. And now, the S1 Mosh/Tribute features a number of similarities with its black frame, white tires, and leather bound seat and handlegrip.

Furthermore, the S1 Mosh/Tribute arrives with many features that are identical to the Mosh/Cty, which is Serial 1’s entry level model. This includes a Gates Carbon Drive belt, Brose mid drive motor, TRP hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed cables and wires, and integrated lighting. Notably, the white Schwalbe Super Moto X tires are exclusive to Serial 1, and the leather saddle and matching leather grips are hand made from Brooks England.

The electric bike is clearly built for enthusiasts who would be excited for this new updated model. Aaron Frank, product manager, said in a statement that the company will “springboard to launch our S1 Series that will see even more exclusive and highly-desirable Serial 1 eBike models in the future.” As of right now, around 650 units are planned for production, half of which, will be available for purchase in the US and the other half in Europe. Shipments and deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
