A bobber style and spectacular performance: test of the LiveWire S2 Mulholland
The electric motorcycle is the future of motorcycles, and with the arrival of the LiveWire S2 Mulholland, the brand has taken a significant step forward. After months of waiting, this motorcycle finally arrives in Mexico with a starting price of €19,590, and honestly, it’s worth taking a look. But what does this cruiser-style motorcycle, powered by the strength of electricity, really offer? We tell you everything!
A design that makes a difference
With its appearance, the LiveWire S2 Mulholland does not go unnoticed. Forget the somewhat retro style of some electric motorcycles; we are talking about a modern design that is decidedly flat-track, but with a cruiser touch that gives it a more aggressive flair. The seat, in a bobber style, is shortened for an upright and relaxed riding position. The first thing that stands out is the raised handlebar that helps provide a more vertical riding posture. With its 17-inch wheels at the rear and 19 at the front, the Mulholland is ready to roll on any surface with incredible stability.
Performance that doesn’t disappoint
There is a lot of talk about the range and performance of electric motorcycles, and here the LiveWire S2 Mulholland is no exception. Its electric motor delivers a peak power of 84 horsepower, enough to accelerate even on fast roads. The torque reaches 263 Nm, allowing you to enjoy both in the city and on the highway without feeling a lack of power. However, the range could be a bit more impressive.
You can expect approximately 194 km in the city and 118 km on the highway. So, it’s better to avoid long trips without breaks. As for charging, you only need 2.3 hours at a fast charging station to go from 20% to 80% (which is quite good for an electric vehicle).
An ideal setup for a dream ride
Regarding equipment, we’re not joking. The LiveWire S2 Mulholland comes with full LED lighting, perfect for night riding, and a 4-inch round TFT screen with smartphone connectivity, which is super practical. You can easily monitor the remaining range and connect to your phone to listen to music or follow a route. And with the USB-C port, you don’t have to worry about your mobile device’s battery.
As for braking, you’ll find Brembo discs with a Brembo M4.32 monoblock caliper, ensuring safety. The Showa suspensions provide a comfortable ride even on less than perfect roads. If you’re looking for a powerful motorcycle but also comfortable to ride, this S2 Mulholland has everything to please.
How much does the LiveWire S2 Mulholland cost and what options are available?
You might be wondering how much this motorcycle costs. Expect to pay around €19,590 for the unpainted version, with a rather chic Lunar White finish. But if you prefer a darker appearance, you can also opt for the painted option in Liquid Black. It’s not exactly cheap, but you are paying for advanced technology, the quality of the components, and the power of the electric motor.
