Custom Culture Meets Accelerating Brand Momentum
The debut of these one‑of‑one S2 Alpinista custom motorcycles served to launch 2026 with a clear focus on expanding access to its premium electric motorcycles—while maintaining leadership in design, performance, and innovation.

As part of this effort, LiveWire has announced reduced MSRPs across its full S2 lineup, reinforcing its commitment to making premium electric motorcycling more accessible to a broader range of riders. New S2 inventory is expected to arrive at European dealerships beginning in April 2026, expanding global availability without compromising the performance and technology riders expect from the brand.

Expanding Reach Across Europe and Beyond
LiveWire’s European footprint continues to grow rapidly. In 2025, the company entered five new markets—Poland, Finland, Belgium, Portugal, and Luxembourg—building on its established presence in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK. Together, these markets form one of the most comprehensive electric motorcycle retail networks in Europe, significantly increasing access across both established and emerging EV regions.

As 2026 S2 model deliveries continue this spring, the expanded network will allow more riders to experience LiveWire motorcycles firsthand, further supporting the company’s mission to accelerate the electrification of motorcycling worldwide.

Looking Ahead
With strengthened U.S. leadership, a growing European presence, and more accessible pricing, LiveWire enters 2026 with clear momentum.

Anchored by the S2 platform and complemented by the upcoming launch of the S4 Honcho™ mini moto, the company continues to expand its reach while remaining deeply connected to rider culture, creativity, and performance.
