Thank you, Allen,
Hello everyone, I’m excited to discuss the announcement that we’re making today in partnership with KYMCO, and why we believe this is the right step in our wider/greater strategy to electrify two wheels and grow ridership--by sharing our passion for products that are soulful by design, with as many riders as possible.
We’re excited that Allen and the team at KYMCO plan to bring RevoNex to market, and we believe that KYMCO’s vision for these products will set them apart from other players in this space.
Which is why we’re proud to be supplying S2 powertrains for KYMCO on this project.
Beginning with Del Mar, S2 has served as the foundation for LiveWire’s growth since we went public in September of 2022.
This year we expanded the portfolio to include Mulholland, and there is still more product planned for S2 in 2025, 2026, and beyond.
S2 has delivered range, performance, and style that has been celebrated by riders and media alike—we have enjoyed some incredible global moments this year with Del Mar and Mulholland.
From Paris to Biarritz, Berlin to New York; riders, brands, and celebrities, have all found joy in the LiveWire riding experience, and even recently MCN declared Del Mar the best electric motorcycle of 2024.
Now, for the reason we’re all here today. Earlier in October we signed a new agreement with KYMCO to leverage our shared expertise and partnership, to develop LiveWire’s next S2 product.
We believe that electric motorcycles provide a pure and joyful riding experience, and while LiveWire has delivered on this promise, we also know that many people commute on other forms of two wheels in cities like Paris or where we find ourselves today, here in Milan, and that these riders’ needs and expectations may exist outside of our current products.
The agreement with KYMCO has given LiveWire newfound solutions to address those needs by bringing to market LiveWire’s first electric maxi-scooter using the S2 powertrain.
We’re excited to share the news and a first look with you, and as you can see on the screen behind me, we intend to enter this category in a way that only LiveWire could, with products that stand apart visually, technically, and experientially.
The performance traits of our powertrain--such as range and recharge rates, in addition to our abilities to create smooth linear torque and power delivery--give me the confidence that these are LiveWire’s competitive advantages in this category, and we anticipate riders immediately discovering new levels of excitement, comfort, and convenience commuting on a S2 powered electric maxi-scooter.
LiveWire is working diligently with KYMCO to deliver our debut maxi-scooter in the first half of 2026, so you should anticipate more news and communication from LiveWire throughout next year.
I want to thank Allen and the team at KYMCO for this opportunity, and we look forward to seeing all of you enjoying this new LiveWire riding experience in 2026.
