LiveWire, Harley-Davidson’s electric mobility division, is about to present a second version of the S2 Del Mar, the electric motorcycle already on sale in some European countries and which, for the time being, is the entry level in terms of cost and accessibility of the LiveWire range.
This would be proven by some homologation documents and the owner’s manual for the classic 2024, discovered by Motorcycle.com’s North American colleagues. While the S2 Del Mar we know is in fact marked S2DM, S2MH now appears in the homologation documents, which would correspond to the news that LiveWire in 2023 registered the name Mulholland in some European and American markets, a sign that the use of the name for a forthcoming electric motorcycle is quite likely.
Any doubts about the existence of the S2 Mulholland would be cleared up by some data relating to weight and seat height, which are specifically different for the S2MH and speak of a bike that is three kilos lighter than the Del Mar (195 kg), lower in the seat (810 vs. 825 mm) and 15 mm longer in the wheelbase, which is 1,468 mm. The Arrow platform on which the Del Mar was born therefore seems to have a second line of decline, even if the presence of the abbreviation “S2” might make you think more of a different configuration than a completely different model: for some years now there has been talk of S3 and S4 models, which we hope – at least as a rumor – to see during 2024.
From the point of view of the engine and range, however, not much should change: the Arrow platform exploits the battery pack as a frame tensioning element and the engine delivers 84 peak hp and a nominal power of 40 hp with a maximum torque of 263 Nm, for a top speed of over 160 km/h. But given the modular nature of the frame, we’re waiting for confirmed news from LiveWire before we can comment on data, prices and arrival times for both the Mulholland and the American brand’s other bikes.
