Updated: Sep 4, 2023

Harley-Davidson's Answer to Urban Commuting is a Second Electric Motorcycle



Thanks to the push towards sustainability and renewable energy, electric vehicles are a hot topic nowadays. However, electric motorcycles are still a niche market, mainly geared towards tech-savvy commuters who’ve outgrown their push scooters. With the release of LiveWire’s second model, the S2 Del Mar, Harley-Davidson aims to change that. You can read about their first model and big brother, LiveWire One, here:



The S2 smaller Del Mar electric motorcycle promises to be perfect for the urban commuter, and it’s equipped with all the latest tech features. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a city commuter, or a motorcyclist looking to switch things up, the LiveWire S2 Del Mar might be the motorcycle of your dreams.





The S2 Del Mar from LiveWire may not be a traditional Harley-Davidson but it boasts some impressive features. First, it has a top speed of 103 mph and an acceleration that goes from 0–60 mph in just 3 seconds. It also has a 113-mile range on a full charge in city mode, which is impressive considering its size. Mix this in with highway driving, and it comes in at around 60 miles of range. But what sets this motorcycle apart is its design. It’s a departure from Harley-Davidson’s signature choppers and features a sleek design that appeals to the urban commuter.


The electric motor powering the S2 Del Mar delivers 84 horsepower and 194 lb-ft of torque. The bike also comes with Level I and Level II charging capabilities that can charge the 10.5 KWH battery topped off either at home or on the road. With Level II charging, you can top up to 80% in just 78 minutes, which is perfect when you’re on the go.




Safety is the utmost concern, and Livewire included features to ensure the rider’s well-being. Features like cornering-enhanced anti-lock braking system, drag-torque control system, and cornering-enhanced traction control system. Not to be forgotten are the highly coveted Brembo Monobloc brakes and Showa suspension for quick-stopping power and smoother rides on those rough city streets.


Overall, the S2 Del Mar is an excellent option for urban riders looking to make their daily commute a breeze. Its modern design looks great, and it's powerful. Even more appealing is the personalization the cycle provides with a range of riding modes, including Sport, Road, Range, Rain, and Custom, for those looking to tailor the ride more to their liking. Each mode provides a mix of brake regeneration, throttle, and power to extend or enhance your ride.


Urban commuting can be a nightmare, but the S2 Del Mar’s features make it smoother. The bike features a 4-inch round TFT color touchscreen display that shows all essential data, such as speed, battery level, and remaining range.

You will find USB-C charging capability for accessories to keep your phone powered up for your ride.




Conclusion:

To sum it up, the S2 Del MAR is an ideal motorcycle for the modern urban commuter. It can be reserved today for the entry price of $15,499. The Del Mar is packed with impressive features, a range that’s more than enough for daily commutes, and comes equipped with all the latest tech features, making it fun and practical.
