LiveWire S2 Mulholland 2025

The LiveWire S2 Mulholland is a technically clean, well-built electric motorbike that scores points in the city with its recuperation, compact design and powerful transmission. In everyday urban life, it impresses with its efficiency, ease of use and a certain coolness factor. But anyone hoping for a real cruiser feeling from the cruiser look will be disappointed. On winding country roads, the Mulholland remains distant, its riding performance seems disconnected and the feedback from the suspension is weak. This has nothing to do with the electric motor - but with the setup and ergonomics. It is therefore more of an urban design speedster than an emotional long-distance friend.
