Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire brand started accepting orders for its upcoming S2 Del Mar electric motorcycle Tuesday afternoon, May 10. It sold out within minutes.
LiveWire released a flashy video with images of the bike and opened reservations for the first one hundred builds of the bike, which will be available in the U.S. only. LiveWire did not immediately announce when or if additional orders would be accepted.
LiveWire accepted $100 deposits and said deliveries will begin in spring of 2023. The price is $17,699.
The S2 Del Mar will have 80 or more horsepower, with a target weight of 435 pounds. It will have Level 1 and Level 2 charging, although the top charging speed wasn’t specified or announced on either the LiveWire’s website or social media channels, although a brief video was also posted on Instagram.
There’s no word on battery or motor size, but LiveWire did say it has an estimated city range of 100 miles, which likely means it won’t have much more than 45 miles or so of interstate range.
The launch edition of the S2 Del Mar is being offered in two colors, Jasper Gray and Comet Indigo.
Other than that, based on LiveWire’s December investor presentation we know the S2 Del Mar will be what’s considered a middleweight bike.
We also know from LiveWire’s teaser video that it may have some dirt-bike sport intentions. Video of the bike is also making the rounds on social media from a launch party in Los Angeles. LiveWire Owner Diego F. Cardenas posted this video.
EV Rider has reached out to LiveWire requesting more information. If a response is received, an updated story will be posted at evrider.tv.
