New 2023 Harley-Davidson LiveWire Architecture

Brand New 2023 Harley-Davidson LiveWire Architecture announced with the launch of the new 2023 LiveWire S2 Del Mar LE. LiveWire is now a sub-brand of Harley-Davidson focusing on electric only eBikes. Now LiveWire has it’s own modular architecture called “S2 ARROW”. Developed in-house at LiveWire Labs it demonstrates Harley-Davidson’s ambition to lead in the EV space and establish LiveWire as the most desirable electric motorcycle brand in the world. The new 2023 LiveWire S2 Del Mar has around ~80hp, charges in approximately 3.5 seconds for a 80% charge and is priced at $17,699 USD but the Limited Edition is restricted to 100 units only. That’s not a horrible price as other electric eBikes it competes against are also around the same price, but range is just 100 miles (city) and we don’t know how much lower it will be for highway nor how long you have to wait at a “gas station” to re-charge it to get back home either.

If $17,699 is too high, the production S2 Del Mar will deliver immediately after the launch edition, with a target MSRP of $15,000 USD.

In the photos, I personally find the new look of the S2 Del Mar something to get to, it’s not common to see a giant “radiator” for an engine and the “gas tank” is holding what exactly? Back in the early 80’s I had a bicycle (1978 CCM Voodoo MX 850 Canadian BMX Bicycle) that looked just like a motorcycle, front and rear shocks, side covers, everything including an orange plastic gas tank with cap so it reminds me of that bike I had in a way (see end of article for photo).

Total Motorcycle has all the new Harley-Davidson LiveWire 2021, 2022 and 2023 models, right here!

*Range estimates are based on expected performance on a fully-charged battery and are derived from SAE J2982 Riding Range Test Procedure data on a sample motorcycle under ideal laboratory conditions. Your actual range will vary depending on your personal riding habits, road and driving conditions, ambient weather, vehicle condition and maintenance, tire pressure, vehicle configuration (parts and accessories), and vehicle loading (cargo, rider and passenger weight).
