LiveWire S2 Del Mar / One: Everything You Need to Know

LiveWire’s S2 Del Mar and LiveWire One are two motorcycles, not one spec, and not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The compare page prints $11,999 and $13,999.

The short answer

The LiveWire S2 Del Mar and LiveWire One are two motorcycles, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The US compare page prints the flat-track bike at $11,999: 84 hp, 103 mph, 10.5 kWh, 436 pounds. The One is $13,999: 100 hp, 110 mph, 15.4 kWh, 562 pounds. The Alpinista on those tables is a third bike.

The LiveWire S2 Del Mar and the LiveWire One are two motorcycles on one list row, not one spec, and not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike. LiveWire’s US compare page prints the Del Mar at $11,999: 84 hp, 194 lb-ft, 103 mph, a 10.5 kWh pack, and 436 pounds. The same site prints the One at $13,999: 100 hp, 84 lb-ft, 110 mph, a 15.4 kWh pack, and 562 pounds. One hundred ninety-four pound-feet is about 263 newton-meters. Eighty-four pound-feet is about 114. Those are not the same torque. The row on this desk’s list links here.

Same brand, two sheets

LiveWire’s US compare pages. The Del Mar column sits next to the S2 Alpinista. The One column sits next to that same Alpinista. Range lines cite SAE J2982. LiveWire says the actual range will vary.

Do not average 436 and 562 into a LiveWire weight. Do not average 84 horsepower and 100. The Del Mar makes less horsepower and more torque. The One makes more horsepower, less torque, and carries a larger pack. Both claim 3 seconds to 60. That is the one performance line they share, and it is still a claim. The One’s Level 2 cell matching its Level 1 cell, 6 hours and 11 hours, is what the compare page prints. This desk is not correcting it to the Del Mar’s 78 minutes. A 60-minute DC fast line is on the One only. The Alpinista, at $12,999 and 99 mph on those same tables, is a third bike. The S2 Mulholland is on the compare nav and is not either of these.

A 103 mph motorcycle is not Class 3. Neither is a 110 mph one. The plate is the permission.

Who it is for

Buy the Del Mar if you want the lighter street tracker, the 19-inch tires, and the 10.5 kWh pack, and the cart still says $11,999. Buy the One if you want the 15.4 kWh sport-tourer, the DC fast charge, and you can live with 562 pounds. Skip both if the photo is an Alpinista or a dirt bike. The Zero SR/F is the other street motorcycle on this list: 111 hp on the US table, 17.3 kWh, 500 pounds. More pack than the One, more weight than the One, and a different company.

Neither bike is on the class chart. Ten point five kilowatt-hours is 10,500 watt-hours. Fifteen point four is 15,400. The watt-hour page is the unit. The Del Mar’s city claim is about 93 watt-hours a mile. The One’s city claim is about 105. The highway-held numbers are thirstier: about 150 on the Del Mar’s 70 miles, and about 143 on the One’s 108. That is arithmetic on LiveWire’s SAE lines, not a new test.

Questions people ask

Is the LiveWire S2 Del Mar the same bike as LiveWire One?+

No. The flat-track compare column is 84 hp, 194 lb-ft, 103 mph, 10.5 kWh, and 436 pounds. The One is 100 hp, 84 lb-ft, 110 mph, 15.4 kWh, and 562 pounds. Less horsepower, more torque, lighter. Do not average the weights.

How much is a LiveWire S2 Del Mar?+

The US compare page prints $11,999 for that bike and $13,999 for the One. The S2 Alpinista on those same tables is $12,999. Dealer freight is not on the compare card.

How far does the S2 Del Mar go on a charge?+

The SAE J2982 lines are 113 miles city, 86 combined at 55 mph, and 70 with 55 mph held. The One’s lines are 146, 95, and 108. LiveWire says the actual range will vary.

Can you DC fast charge a LiveWire Del Mar?+

Not on that column. The flat-track bike is Level 1 and Level 2. The One column adds DC fast, 60 minutes to 100%. The One’s Level 1 and Level 2 cells both print 6 hours to 80% and 11 hours to full. That is the page, not a correction.
