Officially launched back in 2022, the Del Mar is the company’s second model following on from the original LiveWire One (previously badged up as a Harley-Davidson), but comes in with a significantly smaller price while retaining all the performance of a large electric.

The 100 examples of the S2 Del Mar European Launch Edition will feature an exclusive wheel design, striped graphics and white paint, which is applied by hand and takes five days to complete.

The release of the special edition is planned for September 2023 however customers can reserve one with a €100 fee at the LiveWire website with the 100 bikes costing £18,990.

Weighing in at 195.5kg, at the Del Mar’s heart is a an all-new ‘Arrow’ monocoque chassis which combines the 60kW (80bhp) electric motor, and battery which is claimed to be good for 110 miles of urban riding. With a monster 184lb.ft of torque, the S2 reaches 60mph in a claimed 3.1 seconds.

A similar 100-unit US Launch Edition was also released which featured a striped, zebra style livery plus numbered plaque. For more, head to livewire.com

Second LiveWire unveiled: European Launch Edition S2 Del Mar coming soon

First published 11 May 2022 by Phil West

American electric firm LiveWire have confirmed their second model, the S2 Del Mar, will be priced at $15,499 (around £12,500) when it goes on sale, with a special European Launch edition available from April 27, limited to 100 units.

Although the official UK price for the base bike isn’t yet available, the special model will arrive at £18,990 and will also be available in the Netherlands, Germany, and France.

We’re told the launch machine will get a unique wheel design and colour scheme, although we won’t be able to see it until Wednesday 26 April, between 7pm-10pm. Reservations will open at 4pm CET on April 27, requiring a €100 fee.

The S2 Del Mar is an all-new, simplified, more affordable follow-up to LiveWire’s original electric offering, the ambitious but expensive £29,000, 2019 LiveWire (previously produced by Harley-Davidson).

At the Del Mar’s heart is a an all new ‘Arrow’ monocoque chassis which combines the 60kW (80bhp) electric motor, battery which is claimed to be good for 100 miles and control hardware. This is intended to be modular, so can be used for a variety of forthcoming models with the first Del Mar adopting an ‘urban street tracker’ look with 19in wheels.

It’s claimed to weigh just 440lbs (199kg), which is significantly less than, say, Indian’s 218kg FTR flat tracker and also far lighter than Harley’s first 249kg/104bhp LiveWire.

The Del Mar pictured here is the previously revealed 100-unit US Launch Edition, which also featured a unique finish and wheel design plus numbered plaque. Priced $17,699, they sold out almost immediately when they went on sale on May 11, 2022.

“The S2 Del Mar model represents the next step in the evolution of the LiveWire brand,” said 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.”
