The LiveWire S2 Mulholland has been designed for the city to go around bar-hopping, which makes the range usable. The styling is reminiscent of Harley’s own bobber motorcycles. The flat handlebar with bar-end mirrors, round instrument pod, and a long and slender seat, give it a retro charm. The rider triangle is different from the S2 Del Mar.
The S2 Mulholland is the first of the brand’s bikes to offer CAP Hemp bio-composites in its construction including the front and rear fenders. The radiator shroud and wiring caddies are made of discarded ocean fishing nets, while the seat uses petroleum-free, recyclable silicone instead of leather or vinyl. It also gets all-LED illumination, a TFT screen, voice control, OTA updates, navigation, and more.
Suspension duties are handled by Hitachi front forks and a preload and rebound adjustable monoshock. Braking performance comes from Brembo M4.32 calipers, while the electric bobber rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear aluminium wheels. The electric motorcycle tips the scales at 195 kg.
