LiveWire, the electric motorcycle company spun off from Harley-Davidson, has unveiled plans to expand its lineup with an electric maxi-scooter built on its versatile S2 Arrow platform. The maxi-scooter, designed for comfortable highway travel, will leverage the performance of LiveWireās existing powertrain, which includes a structural battery, electric motor, and associated control hardware.
The S2 Arrow platform, first introduced with the LiveWire S2 Del Mar and later adapted for the S2 Mulholland, is now being used for LiveWireās ambitious maxi-scooter project, slated for release in the first half of 2026. KYMCO, a leading Taiwanese scooter manufacturer and early investor in LiveWire, will play a key role in the development of the scooter. The partnership is designed to combine LiveWire’s electric technology with KYMCOās extensive experience in the scooter market.
āLiveWire is an iconic leader in electric solutions for urban mobility,ā said KYMCO Chairman Allen Ko. āWe are excited to partner with them as LiveWire embarks on the development of an S2-based electric maxi-scooter.ā
The collaboration between LiveWire and KYMCO has already produced results with the redesign of the KYMCO RevoNEX electric motorcycle, which is also based on the S2 Arrow platform. As LiveWireās electric maxi-scooter becomes the latest addition to the platform, it marks the continued expansion of both companies’ efforts to create a broad range of electric two-wheelers, targeting a younger, more urban-focused audience.
LiveWireās approach to branding, which distinguishes itself from Harley-Davidsonās traditional image, aligns with the growing demand for electric vehicles that merge lifestyle and practical commuting needs. While the electric maxi-scooter is still in its development phase, early responses to concept images have been largely positive, underscoring the companyās shifting identity and continued innovation in the electric motorcycle market.
