Following the launch of the LiveWire One under the Harley-Davidson umbrella, the Bar and Shield then spun off the electric brand into its own entity.
While it’s a move that allowed LiveWire to grow its S2 lineup into a series of distinct offerings (Mulholland, Del Mar and Alpinista), the outfit hasn’t exactly managed to cultivate a strong following.
As such, between new rider courses and hefty discounts, LiveWire has tried a variety of tactics to break through to EV skeptics. But let’s face it — until charging performance stops being a hindrance, most seasoned motorcyclists won’t even consider swinging a leg over the saddle of an electric bike.
For this reason, the brand’s new concept could make for one of its most impactful releases yet. It’s a motorcycle that LiveWire hopes will prove EV speed capabilities in more ways than one.
Equipped for performance
It’s called the ‘Alpinista Corsa,’ and, as you might expect from the name, it’s a corner-carving creation based on the LiveWire brand’s Alpinista model.
Being the sportiest of the S2 trio, the bike is already equipped for spirited riding with its riser handlebars and neutral geometry. However, the new Corsa concept takes the Alpinista’s ethos a step further with some top–shelf components and careful geo tweaks.
