How many of y'all have ridden electric bikes? What'd you think of that torque?! It's next level! 🚀
I have not! Willing to give it a try
Pretty spicy meatball! Rode S2 DelMar, really was blown away. Best of luck to the LiveWire team
Yes awesome Victory impulse TT insane bike won the Ilse of Man
1 cannon ball run on my 2020 LiveWire and 2 cross countries! 55K miles 4yrs
I own both LiveWires! They’re a blast
Holy shit the shape of that bike is SO UNIQUE! You lucky SOB!
Dude that's what I was saying, the shape / ergos on it were awesome! Made for a hell of a ride 🤘
I've had my Mulholland a month now and I love it 🎉
Went to local dealer a couple hours after this was announced today. They had one with the red seat in stock. Wasn't even on the show floor yet. Ended up buying it. Such a sick bike
That's awesome man, congrats! That red seat looked great! 🤘
what was your OTD
I was the FIRST in the country to buy this today! I saw it for sale this morning and fell instantly in love. I now currently own two Livewires! The 2022 Livewire One and now the Mulholland! They are two totally different riding experiences! I made a video as well today and will be posting it after editing.
Congrats! Hell of a bike to add to the arsenal 🤘
U didn’t post anything
@@An_Enraged_Pig your channel doesn’t have content.
Why don’t you record and edit everything you do?
S2 is such a fun platform. My first thought when I test ride the Del Mar last year was ‘I wanna do hood rat shit’. Mulholland seems like a great option for those that don’t want to venture off the beaten path, which is why I love my Del Mar. great review/jmpressions! Ride safe
It’s starting to make sense in the right circumstances. I daily ride year round (FL). Stop and go. Average 40 miles per day. Park at home overnight. Wouldn’t plan a trip on it and wouldn’t be the only bike. But as a daily yeah. Considering the cost of a car for commuting it starting to look like a viable option for me.
Good video
100% the same reason I'd buy one!
You were the reason why I jumped back on a motorcycle after some years. Your old 883 vids on the parking lot with tips for beginners made me hungry to get back in the saddle. Thank you.
Stay safe and keep the rubber on the street.
That's awesome man, glad the vids helped out. Thanks for watching!
Living in Colorado it would realistically be used approx. 8-months of the year. I think it would be great for my 30 mile round-trip to work each day and running errands around my town.
Would make a great commuter for sure! I'm definitely interested in one for just that reason 🤘
Lucky you got a sneak peak. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review Block! Makes me want to go out and test ride today. That torque seems incredible! Much success to you!
Looks like a pretty fun bike Block. Thanks for showing a small clip of HB. That was home for me and it was nice seeing it, even for a just a quick minute.
Riding my 18th I.C.E. Harley-Davidson, a 2020 FLSL with the last air cooled V-twin that the Motor Company will produce. Wife has a 2023 Mustang Mach-e AWD GT that has nudged me to start the process of buying a Mulholland. The Mach-e is 0 to 60 in 3.4, so in house bragging rights are at stake. Thank you for sharing, Ride Free
😂 Keep in mind that a doghouse is not included
Block, thanks again as usual for another AmaZinG test ride review. I could definitely see getting one to commute my 48 mile rt/commute to work. It also looks to be a ton of fun. See you on the Rad Road
It’s the best looking live yet. I like it.
I've been watching you since the sportster and I didn't even own a bike at the time. I've been through a few in the past 7 years and finally picked up a 22 RGS this year, my first Harley. Enjoying your videos and the bike.
Congrats on the RGS man! 🤘🏼 And thanks for the support and watching for all these years, means a lot! 👊🏼
I’ve been watching since the sportster days too. Back when I had a sportster. I’ve managed to go from no bike in 2022 to three bikes as of yesterday 😂
That looks like a blast! I need one!
looks so much fun, maybe one day i get to test it
That's amazing! Makes me wonder how much I'd save a month in gas using one of these as a commuter to and from Blockhead Garage 😅
A s*itload if you charge at home. 😀@@BlockheadMoto
Fully transistorized ignition too!. Zippy-Doo!
Looks cool, kinda want it.
As a breakout owner i LOVE that they used the headlight from the 2023
I need one of these man they look so much fun
Right after my test ride this past Saturday, i bought it. My commute is less than 30 miles and i have a level 2 at home, easy choice.
I remember when you rode that Livewire down in Mexico :)
SO FUN! ... in Mexico of course, lol
I demo'd a livewire. It impressed me. A new demo day is needed in SoCal (Malibu, HB, SD)
Good looking bike.
Super cool!! Fun commuter for sure. Of course we love our Harleys.. But looks super fun. Thanks. Would be cool to go to work on and charge at home
Def love our Harley's, but this is a totally different experience! It's ok to like more than one thing 😁
Definitely not my thing but if it gets people on 2 wheels then it's cool 👍
I like it. I currently own a 2021 Zero SR-F, and the range is definitely a killer. That, and the charging infrastructure isn't really there for level 2 chargers. I would have definitely bought this if it was available b4 I bought my Zero. I really like the style of this one.
Looks nice. I love riding the original Livewire, I'm sure this one is great as well. I still wish they had more range though. 😞
PERFECT Bar hopper... definitely not for distance
Exactly. Electrics are only good for short local rides still. Forget about going for a weekender with friends.
Not ridden one, but it looks a hella lot of fun! Is a windshield an option?
got to ride them at bike week one yr , was hoping they had them this yr . new one looks so good. and the red seat would be my choice as well
I like it. Give Harley a lot of credit by taking a chance with it. Yes it didn’t make it like they hoped but look at this one. They will lead the motorcycle industry
That’s a good looking bike
As someone who wouldn't road-trip a motorcycle for more than... maybe an 8 hour drive, this would be great. Especially considering I have solar and a battery backup so most if not all charging would be free for me.
I just traded in my Delmar for the love the Mulholland
I tested an Energica electric mc, and it was insane to ride! 😀
I’m going to go check one out at Orlando Harley on Saturday.
Hey any updates on your Blockhead exhaust?
Hope you enjoy it, really fun bike! Yup we're 1-2 weeks out on the exhaust, video soon!
The Del Mar was a good addition to the lineup with a purpose; attract urban riders. Super fun to ride. This seems like they should have found a way to extend the range if the goal was to make a cruiser. Zero continues to improve their range and offerings and LW has released an S2 that doesn’t grab the larger US market. I’m a shareholder and believe in what LWG is doing but find this model to be a miss for me. The ELW/LW1 is still such a good looking machine to me and is a joy to ride.
Cool looking
It does look cool.
I'd love to ride one. Haven't had an opportunity to yet. Don't know if I would purchase one but it would be sure fun to test ride
Highly recommend going to test ride one, they're tons of fun!
I loved my test ridde It felt like an eDyna @clubber style
Totally what I was thinking, eDyna! 😂
@@BlockheadMoto I did a small rove video myself check it out premiered this AM. I liked this ride as well
Great looking bike, and great performance. I just can't do a long ride in Texas with one yet. We just don't have the infrastructure.
S2DM owner - I like the seat on this much better than the del mar. But honestly though, I wish the 2nd LV S2 variation was something with wind protection like a bikini fairing on a tuono. oh well. the torque is killer.
I have the 2020 LiveWire. Do you think this is a true upgrade from that or something different? I do really like having a unique one with the Harley badging so not sure if I want to part with that.
I rode the Victory Empulse I think it was called or Ignition? They'd brought it with their current line back 8 or 9 years ago and I checked it out. The thing had a lot of get up and go, was interesting. I had a hard time with the lack of clutch though. Figure you'd get used to not having one sooner or later if you rode one. Won't trade my HD Road Glide for one, currently but the tech is interesting.
Thanks brohemian! 🤘
Thanks for watching!
Shut up! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm 60 drove semi for over 20 years last couple years of my career I drove semi automatic semi hated not shifting gears not enthusiastic about the sound of the same on a motorcycle but watching blockhead video on Mulholland live wire I'm curious I'd take a spin around the block on one if opportunity arises
I’ve got a manual V8, automatic V8, manual inline 6, various motorcycles, and lemme tell ya, riding something like this is a whole other experience. Doesn’t mean you can’t also like those other things! Def worth trying it out for the feeling of the torque alone 😁
The design of this bike is really cool, only if Harley made a bike with this design and V-twin engine, it would have been selling like hotcakes. Harley should really consider making a bike with this design and V-twin engine
I'd be more willing to try one of they were more cruiser styled, and maybe not so café racer style. It'd be a great little round town bar hopper again if it was styled differently. I've been looking and no one makes a cruiser style ev bike
I realise the keep the rear brake on the foot lever to make it an easier transition for ICE motorcyclists but it really needs to go to the left handlebar as this would allow easy adjustment of footpeg position to suit riders preference.
The design is a bit funky, but I like it. I know you charged it at a charging station, but I'm curious what the cost would have been at home. Maybe someone in the know can comment, but I'm thinking it would be less than half the cost. Wouldn't work as my only bike, but would definitely be a nice second or tenth bike.
I do like the red seat
Right? It’s super comfy as well
It'd be a great work-commute bike, and I'd love to have one....but it's hard to justify $16K when I have three bikes that are just as good at getting me to/from work (and 2 are paid off)
Very cool. It looks fantastic, but range is still an issue. Where I live (Portland, OR) going from one side of town to the other and back it would be done.
Just checked out Portland on plugshare, and it's what I'd call a 'charger rich environment'! Chargers everywhere there!
@@AdventuresonZero If you are using the bike to commute, you are possibly correct, depending on where they’re located. For a ride for pleasure like most of us, it’s not convenient. I’d rather not plan my ride on where chargers are located.
@@bobwampler3387 I get that. However, if riding for pleasure, I assume it's in a familiar area. I know all the chargers in my area now, and in local towns in the surrounding counties - I don't have to think about it beyond the initial discovery of finding a charger. It's second nature, just like any other ride
Got my eye on this bike here in uk only i like the fairly long range and pretty quick charging 2hrs only thing I don't get is why the mirrors are under the handle bars
That looks like a damn good time if I was more urban. Need a speaker playing motorcycle sounds. Insert South Park: Brub Brrub Brrrrub!
Handlebar controls looks exactly like the Nightster Special and Sportster S.
Instantly recognized them from my Pan America
The dash from the sportster s as well
What is the max range, top speed and price for mulholland considering this bike here in UK
I’d buy it just based on Blocks giggling. 😂
Haven't ridden an e-bike. That Mulholland looks pretty good though. Such a narrow bike. I bet it feels like a 250 dirt bike under the bum
It’s so much fun, def would recommend trying it out when you’re able!
I test rode them last summer. Fun for sure but I need a better range. Kind of weird with no clutch and you better turn if off before you move it in the garage. Move the throttle a little and opps. Ha
Yeah I tried a blip while coming to a stop and threw my head back 😂
Good review. This bike isn't for me, at this time, but I can appreciate it for what it is intended.
Good concept that needs broader market appeal…at some point what about a hybrid cruiser or touring bike. Like the current EV auto conundrum a strict EV platform has some real range and charging infrastructure that limits broader acceptance…same for motorcycles. But a hybrid approach to a broader range of motorcycling genres could open the market and lead to market acceptance and successful profitability
I’m curious but not sold on the idea yet, maybe when the price tag comes down more
I ride an electric bicycle almost every single day, both for fun and as my daily commuter to and from work. I have a hybrid car, but not EV. An electric motorcycle seems like my dream come true (granted I'd have to get my motorcycle license, but many people have told me it isn't that hard to get and schools around me offer classes to teach you). The ONLY thing stopping me right now is simply the cost.
As of this comment, this bike is $16,000. That's FAR out of my price range, but the allure is there. Cost of living is so out of control that even for my studio apartment in Arizona it's $1,385 and that doesn't include food, fuel, electricity and Internet for literally a room to live in.
I feel it's a pipe dream to have one of these one day, but damn is it perfect for me. I'm a minimalist by nature and live alone by choice. Seems great, but it always comes down to money.
Hey what leather jacket are you wearing in this ride?
at 6'2" 230LBS I'd look like a monkey f#$#$in' a football on that thing 🤣 Great ride/video man!
I'm 6'1 240, I'd say it's a good fit for me (on the Del Mar at least)!
I need a bike the color of the minivan Block was following. Great shade of blue.
so the white variant is not painted, so it might be easy to throw some paint on - less processing than the other panels
So it's the DelMar but kinda set up like a cafe racer? Actually, I kinda like it.
I wouldn’t say cafe racer as the ergos are super comfy. The entire front and rear end are completely different from a rider standpoint: narrower bars, risers, little more nimble at lower speeds. All around just a fun and comfortable bike to punch the streets on.
@@AdventuresonZero I'd agree to that. Guess I didn't mean a "pure" traditional Cafe style, it just made me think of that, and the general idea of "minimize and lighten as much as possible"
Typo on the torque spec at the beginning.
im 50 and in the process of getting a motorcycle license. i want this one:)
Never too late!
Lack of clutch and shifting we allow more into motorcycles. Rare clutches in car now as DTC shifts faster than human
cool
It would be good for short work, commutes or around the town, but the range just isn’t there for anything else. Someday they will.
whats the distance on one charge?
What’s up Block Fam!? I got an unexpected phone call from Orange County police. They recovered my 09 dyna. It’s been missing for two years. It’s a mess of wires and mismatched parts. Serial numbers ground off, no controls, no back brakes, cvo front brakes. There’s a lot missing. Almost nothing original. What should I do with it? Twin cam chopper? Rebuild it as a dyna? Sell it for parts? Wdyt?
Oh damn! Congrats on getting your bike back first of all! That sounds rough for sure. To rebuild as a Dyna is doable, I'm sure you can find plenty of 2nd hand parts for good prices at swap meets or on ebay. Or you could go the chopper route, both could be cool!
It’s the recharge time that stops me
Depends on the distance of the next leg, but it's a different approach to refueling gas bikes. Doesn't always have to be a 1-2 hour recharge
I think electric bikes are great for people who live in the north and only ride half the year. No worries of gas going bad and maintenance for just a short riding season. Also for urban riders who maybe do a 100 miles a week with access to charging.
Electric motorcycles make more sense than electric cars.
I want this !!! I will trade whatever to get it but my xsr lol
Level 2 are slow chargers vs level 3. Sadly most level 3 are only 50 kw vs advertised 350 kw. All Tesla superchargers are level 3(120-250kw) one reason why other manufacturers have bowed to Tesla with universal SLIM NACS plug vs the huge CCS plug
Doesn’t matter where you’re riding, those roads are Atrocious.
The Bike looks fantastic
Euro 6 emissions around the corner for motorcycles. Very difficult for air cooled
Seems to me there is room to make a version with a larger battery for improved range.
There’s trade offs for everything - but the architecture is completely modular. If LiveWire wanted to make a 21kW version tomorrow they could. However that would require a bigger motor, ergo change, etc.
Thought was del mar at first
A Harley i can sneak on bike paths in NYC. Sign me up
Do you know if it has a windscreen option?
Eventually
111 miles in the city 78 on highway
The bike is not intimidating. It seems like a small to mid sized, along the lines of a Sporty. You just said it, "It feels like a big bicycle".
Almost reminds me of when you were riding the GROM. lol You look big on that bike.
Not intimidating at all, and easy to acclimate to it since there's no clutch and shifting! Less of a learning curve hopefully equals more riders! Which is better for all of us, haha. Such a fun bike!
I hate that it looks like a big bicycle from the riders pov. I like electric motorcycles that look like motorcycles. The red seat looks sick though.
I`m never going to buy an electric bike, my country just introduced road user charges on electric vehicles. I get a new bike every year and I have not ridden all the bikes I like yet. Right now I love KTM. I`m retiring in 2027 and looking to return to Harley`s(combustion with loud exhaust)😁.
How long does the battery last??
Depends on what mode you have it in and how you're riding, but it accurately updates you on your range as you're riding it!
Range is 121 miles city, 73 highway with L2 fast charging
@@LiveWireEV awesome thank you
@@LiveWireEVWhat is top speed and price
Level 2(6-19 kw) level 3(50kw -350kw)
More KW means faster charging. We need more level 3’s not the cheaper to install slower level 2’s
This one seems more ergonomic for traffic 😅
Love the idea of fully electric bikes. But they need to badly grow the charging infrastructure and greatly improve the range on these bikes.
Infrastructure has come a long way in the last few years. Not gas station convenient quite yet, but it’s getting there.
Would LOVE to see an electric touring machine. The lack of range and storage is a non-starter for me.
Closest right now is the Energica Experia. I have a few friends that own them, 130-150 mile on the interstate (depending on rider weight, bags, etc). It’s the first electric sport tourer to hit the market. They have fantastic customer service!
😎💯✌️
121 city miles range... Id like to get one and I could definitely afford one .... but... Stopping to charge for 78 min to get going is crazy
Just depends on how far the next leg is. Don't always have to wait 1-2hours, just enough to get you to the next place you're trying to go
@AdventuresonZero I live in the Appalachian mtns... no where to sit arround n recharge... i was thinking about it
But Zero dealers within 200 miles... and it won't even make it that far.... like I said... awesome bar hopper. Thats about it
@@FlipandTheBlueMule I live in the Appalachian mtns as well. My dealer is in Fairfax, about 2.5 hours away. The great thing about these bikes are the low maintenance. there are maintenance intervals, however they can be done at home and it won't void the warranty if not done by a dealer. Most level 2 chargers are in town center areas like restaurants, storefronts, bars, etc.
@AdventuresonZero where did you get yours? ... Fairfax? I could always go to the pub or the Irish pub here in Murphy NC ... Im disabled now and my 900 pound bike is a bit much on my bad days
@@FlipandTheBlueMule I ordered mine through LiveWire, and picked it up from Patriot HD in Fairfax , VA. I’m disabled as well (veteran), Del Mar (or Mulholland) is easier to manage than the LiveWire ONE.
