Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire electric offshoot has released another new battery-powered model. The S2 Mulholland, dubbed an electric performance cruiser, uses the same S2 powertrain as the Del Mar roadster, giving upper-middleweight petrol bike performance.
The Mulholland weighs in at 196kg, produces 84bhp peak power and has a 10.5kW/h battery pack that offers up to (a claimed) 121 miles of urban range and 73 miles of 55mph main road riding. It also has both L1 (slow) and L2 (fast) charging technology, meaning charging from 20% to 80% on an L2 charger takes 78 minutes. Running gear is premium road kit, with Showa suspension and Brembo brakes. It has a cruiser-style 19in front wheel, and the styling is distinctive, if perhaps not in the conventionally beautiful category.
Priced at £17,890, it seems unlikely to be a massive game-changer in the currently torpid British electric motorcycle market. However, it offers another option to riders with a good use case for an electric bike with this sort of range, performance and charging times. The Mulholland S2 is on sale now.
