LiveWire Mulholland
By Ben Purvis
The still largely Harley-Davidson-owned LiveWire brand remains one of the most ambitious ( and controversial ) entries to the electric motorcycle market yet and , with the new S2 Mulholland , it adds a third model to its range and a second derivative of its clever Arrow modular motorcycle platform . While the LiveWire One , formerly known as the Harley-Davidson LiveWire , remains the flagship model in terms of price and performance , it ' s getting old in terms of electric bikes , and the Arrow platform that underpins the S2 Del Mar and the new S2 Mulholland points to the future pathway the company is likely to follow . With the Mulholland , LiveWire expands its appeal with a cityoriented machine with a more laid-back style than the flat-track inspired Del Mar . Mechanically , the modular nature of the S2 platform means the Mulholland doesn ' t stray far from the Del Mar , with the same 84 hp ( 63 kW ) electric motor that puts out a remarkable 263 Nm of torque . The 10.5 kWh battery is the same , too , with identical charging times as the Del Mar - ranging from 78 minutes for a 20 % -80 % charge on a Level 2 charger to 9.1 hours for a 0 % - 100 % refill via a slower Level 1 socket .
LiveWire has filed trademark applications to use the name ' Alpinista ' on a future motorcycle model in a move that points clearly towards an upcoming electric adventure machine . The Alpinista looks likely to be the next addition to the range - meaning ' mountaineer ' in Italian and Spanish , it leaves little doubt that the bike it will be fitted to will have at least some level of
The differences come in the Mulholland ' s looks and geometry . Where the Del Mar has 19-inch wheels at both ends , the Mulholland has a 19- inch front and 17-inch rear , the latter fitted with a 180 / 55-17 Dunlop Roadsmart that ' s 40 mm wider than the Del Mar ' s 140 / 80-19 rear Dunlop DT-1 . At the front , the Mulholland gets a relaxed 29 degrees of rake , 5 degrees more than the Del Mar , contributing to a 1,468 mm wheelbase that ' s 15 mm longer than the older bike . The suspension is different , too . The 43 mm upside-down forks are listed as being Hitachi supplied , compared to the Del Mar ' s Showas ( although Showa is a Hitachi subsidiary ) and the rear monoshock is also a Hitachi unit . The Mulholland ' s drooping tail makes for a lower rear end , dropping the seat height from 785 mm to 768 mm . Despite the identical power units , the Mulholland is claimed to have a slightly

San Marcos , Texas based Lyndall Brakes has added further to its U . S . sales team with the appointment of Greg Handren as its West Coast Sales Representative . Handren ’ s appointment marks a significant milestone for Lyndall Brakes as the company returns to its Californian roots where it all began in 1998 . With a rich history dating back to its inception at Willow Springs in California , " Lyndall Brakes has been at off-road ability . It ' s almost certain that the Alpinista will be developed on the same modular ' Arrow ' platform that ' s used for the S2 Del Mar and S2 Mulholland . There ' s a strong chance the Alpinista will be another ' S2 ' bike with the same components - maximizing parts commonality and minimizing R & D and tooling costs while expanding the range

the forefront of wheel and brake technology for over two decades . Now , as the company embarks on its next chapter of growth , expanding rapidly
longer range at city speed than the Del Mar , covering up to 195 km between charges - 13 km further than its sister model under the same conditions . At highway speeds , it manages 117 km before the battery is flat . Meanwhile , the acceleration and top speed are both fractionally slower than the Del Mar , suggesting the Mulholland has taller gearing . Unlike the two-seat Del Mar , the Mulholland is a single-seat design without any pillion pad or passenger pegs , and the styling is revised with a lower rear end , shorter dummy ' fuel tank ' section ahead of the seat and circular headlight , as well as taller bars . It ' s lighter than the Del Mar , too , coming in at 196 kg against 198 kg for the existing model . The Mulholland is likely to reach dealers in the U . S . market first , but will be shipped to LiveWire dealers globally eventually .
into a new market segment . Later , LiveWire intends to add an ' S3 ' version of the modular platform to the range , to use on smaller , cheaper electric bikes . It ' s currently developing that platform in partnership with KYMCO . After that , a new heavyweight ' S4 ' platform is planned to create a range of large bikes to supersede the LiveWire One .
across regions , the appointment of Greg Handren signifies a strategic move to reinforce its presence in California , Arizona and Nevada ," said founder and CEO Paul Kittrell . " We ' re thrilled to welcome Greg Handren to the Lyndall Brakes family . His extensive experience and passion for the industry make him the ideal candidate to represent our brand on the West Coast ." www . lyndallbrakes . com
