LiveWire successfully launched its all new, all-electric S2 ARROW platform with the first 100 units selling out in 18 minutes! The production version S2 Del Mar will deliver immediately after the launch edition in the spring of 2023 with a $15,000 target MSRP. Specs for the S2 Del Mar call for 80 horsepower (59.6 kW), and less than 440 pounds of weight, delivering projected 0-to-60 mph times of 3.5 seconds or less. Range is targeted at 100 miles of city riding.
“The S2 Del Mar model represents the next step in the evolution of the LiveWire brand,” notes Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. “The ARROW architecture underpinning the Del Mar, developed in-house at LiveWire Labs, demonstrates our ambition to lead in the EV space and establish LiveWire as the most desirable electric motorcycle brand in the world.”
Del Mar is designed as an Urban Street Tracker, according to Zeitz. “Del Mar presents a street-tracker stance on 19-inch front and rear wheels equipped with custom developed LiveWire Dunlop DT1 tires equally capable on paved and dirt surfaces.” The slim seat tops a short tail section. A tracker-style handlebar fronted by a thin flyscreen places the rider in an upright position for a comfortable and controlled riding experience.
Although the advanced ARROW Architecture with proprietary battery, motor, charging and control systems was designed at LiveWire Labs in Mountain View, California, all LiveWire S2 Del Mar motorcycles will actually be assembled at Harley-Davidson Vehicle Operations in York, PA. The ARROW architecture is intended to be modular and serves as the central component of the motorcycle chassis for the Del Mar and other as yet unnamed variants.
Only 100 examples of the Del Mar Launch Edition models will be made, featuring an exclusive finish and wheel design. The graphics and paint – in a choice of Jasper Gray or Comet Indigo – are applied by hand using a process that takes 5 days to complete. The design employs an opposing-fade, representing and celebrating both the exciting and soulful experiences of riding LiveWire electric motorcycles. The intricate pattern of the 19-inch PCB cast-aluminum wheels evokes the dense patterning and framework found on printed circuit boards.
