Livewire S2 Del Mar – The Second Electric Bike From Harley-Davidson
Harley Davidson electric sub-brand had announced an MSRP of $16,999 (approx Rs. 13.94 lakh) in September 2022. New MSRP is $15,499 (approx Rs. 12.71 lakh), making Livewire S2 Del Mar around $1500 cheaper than previous prices. Bookings are open at a nominal price of $100.

Europe is getting the S2 Del Mar as well. Livewire will open a European booking portal for S2 Del Mar Launch Edition on 27th April 2023, at 4 PM CET. Launch Editions are limited to just 100 units in Europe. It will get Himalaya White shade along with hand-applied graphics that apparently takes five days to complete.

S2 Del Mar features a monocoque chassis with its battery pack as a stressed member. It has a flat-tracker-inspired design language. And Harley’s new pill-shaped LED headlight. Ergonomics should be comfortable, yet sporty.
Electrifying 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.1 seconds
Even though S2 Del Mar’s full-fat spec sheet is not yet out, some numbers have slipped through the cracks. For starters, Livewire S2 Del Mar gets a mid-mounted motor and packs 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of torque. All that twisting force has enabled S2 Del Mar to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96.56 km/h) in 3.1 seconds.
This motor gets the juice from a battery rated for 110 miles (177 km) on a single charge. Livewire S2 Del Mar weighs a hefty 195 kg. It is relatively light as opposed to 249 kg of Livewire One. But extra weight on Livewire One enables it to travel up to 146 miles (234 km).
20% to 80% charge from a level-2 charger takes 75 minutes. Livewire is mum about power and battery capacity. For context, Livewire One gets a 15.5 kWh battery pack. Livewire S2 Del Mar will get three colours in the USA, Nimbus Gray, Nightfall Blue and Asphalt Black. India launch is not likely.
