New Electric Ride
LiveWire, the electric motorcycle brand from Harley-Davidson, has unveiled its latest model: the S2 Alpinista. This new bike is built on the versatile Arrow platform, which also supports previous models like the S2 Del Mar and S2 Mulholland. The Alpinista aims to blend urban agility with touring capabilities, making it a unique addition to LiveWire’s lineup.
Key Features of S2 Alpinista
- Performance: The S2 Alpinista features a powerful 63 kW (84 hp) motor that allows it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3 seconds. It has a top speed of 99 mph and offers a range of up to 120 miles per charge.
- Design & Comfort: Weighing in at 433 lbs (196 kg), this bike is designed for both daily commutes and spirited rides. Its smaller wheels lower the seat height for added comfort.
- Technology: Equipped with advanced safety features like Bosch’s 6-axis IMU for enhanced braking and traction control, along with multiple ride modes for customization.
Pricing & Availability
The LiveWire S2 alpinista is priced at $15,999, making it the most affordable model in LiveWire’s range. It is now available at dealerships across North America and Europe.
Future Prospects
While LiveWire has successfully launched three models on the Arrow platform within three years, sales have not yet met expectations due to challenges in the premium electric motorcycle market. However, with Harley-Davidson’s backing, there are hopes for future profitability as they continue innovating their product line.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of the S2 Alpinista marks an exciting step forward for LiveWire as they strive to capture more riders’ interest while offering high-performance electric motorcycles that cater to various riding styles.
