On March 20, LiveWire came out swinging with the S2 Mulholland, a sleek electric cruiser sporting some seriously cool components made from hemp biocomposites. Yep, you heard that right – hemp, the stuff that’s more commonly associated with tie-dye and hippies, is now cruising the streets in style.
But wait, there’s more! This bad boy isn’t just rocking hemp – it’s also decked out with bits and bobs made from recycled fishing nets. It’s like the Captain Planet of motorcycles, fighting ocean pollution one ride at a time.
Plastic News spilled the beans on LiveWire’s green machine, revealing that the Mulholland’s fenders and other parts are made from post-consumer plastics and hemp-reinforced materials. Talk about riding in style while saving the planet – it’s like having your hemp cake and eating it too!
But the eco-friendliness doesn’t stop there. LiveWire went all out, crafting the seat from petroleum-free silicone instead of traditional leather or vinyl. It’s like sitting on a cloud of sustainability, with a side of good vibes.
And let’s talk about that paint job – or lack thereof. The Mulholland comes in an unpainted Lunar White finish, showing off its hemp parts in all their glory. It’s like strutting down the runway in your birthday suit – bold, daring, and definitely eye-catching.
But don’t let its eco-friendly exterior fool you – this baby packs a punch. With 84 horsepower and 194 ft-lb of torque, it’s like riding a lightning bolt through the streets. And with a zero-to-sixty time of just 3.3 seconds, you’ll be leaving gas-guzzlers in the dust faster than you can say “electric revolution.”
Sure, it might not be built for cross-country road trips, but who needs that when you can tear up the city streets in style? Plus, with a range of 121 miles in the city and 73 miles on the highway, you’ll have plenty of juice to keep the good times rolling.
So, why all the fuss about sustainability? Well, besides saving the planet, it turns out the younger generation is willing to shell out some extra green for eco-friendly products. And with the S2 Mulholland priced just under $16,000 USD and C$22,000, it’s like getting a guilt-free ride for the price of a few avocado toasts.
But don’t just take my word for it – the S2 Mulholland is already flying off the shelves at motorcycle dealers across the U.S. and Canada. It’s a game-changer for LiveWire, combining cutting-edge design with a commitment to sustainability. So, grab your helmet and hop on board – the future of cruising just got a whole lot greener!
