Features and Claimed Performance of The S2 Del Mar LE
The S2 Del Mar LE is the first vehicle to feature the company’s new S2 Arrow architecture. The electric motor, battery pack, and electronics systems are all combined into one unit, which then serves as the chassis. Because the Arrow architecture is modular, it will be used by LiveWire to develop a variety of electric vehicles in the future. The S2 takes 44 percent less time to build than the LiveWire One, according to LiveWire.
