LiveWire, the electric motorcycle brand spun off from Harley-Davidson, unveiled several new electric models at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, highlighting its growing commitment to the electrification of two-wheel mobility. The lineup includes the S4 Honcho series and the S2 Alpinista Corsa, alongside a preview of a forthcoming maxi-scooter co-developed with Kymco.

The S4 Honcho Trail and Street models mark LiveWire’s entry into the lightweight motorcycle segment, roughly equivalent to a 125cc petrol bike. Production for both versions is expected to begin in early 2026.

The Street variant is designed for urban commuting and can be ridden in many European countries with an A1 licence, while the Trail model is aimed at off-road enthusiasts and does not require a licence when used on private grounds. With these additions, LiveWire is expanding its lineup to make electric motorcycles more accessible to entry-level riders.

The S2 Alpinista Corsa, meanwhile, showcases LiveWire’s advances in electric performance and charging technology. Equipped with a 10 kWh battery, the sportbike can charge from 20 to 80 percent in just ten minutes using DC fast charging.

It features Öhlins suspension, carbon fiber components, and refined aerodynamics for a sport-oriented riding experience. Within the same family, the company also previewed the S2 Alpinista Patrol, a police-spec version already in service in the United States, with a potential rollout in European markets in the near future.

LiveWire also introduced a near-production prototype of its first electric maxi-scooter, developed in partnership with Kymco, which has been a shareholder in the company since 2021.

The scooter is based on the LiveWire S2 Arrow platform, delivering up to 63 kW peak output and 30 kW continuous power, with a top speed of 163 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in around three seconds. Range under mixed driving conditions is estimated at 113 km, with a market debut planned for the first half of 2026.

With this diverse portfolio, LiveWire continues to broaden its reach beyond the premium motorcycle segment, combining Harley-Davidson’s heritage with modern electric innovation to attract a new generation of riders.
