LiveWire Group Inc. (NYSE: LVWR) announced it has started production of its S4 Honcho Trail and S4 Honcho Street electric motorcycles, according to a company statement.

The 125cc-equivalent electric motorcycles are manufactured by KYMCO and target new riders, commuters and recreational users. Both models weigh approximately 250 pounds and feature dual removable batteries with a combined capacity of 3.48 kWh.

The motorcycles reach a top speed of 59 mph and accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Range extends up to 53 miles under WMTC testing conditions or 73 miles at a constant 20 mph speed. The batteries charge from 20% to 80% capacity in approximately 2 hours using 110V power.

"S4 Honcho is about opening up electric riding to a much broader audience," said Karim Donnez, CEO of LiveWire. "It's lightweight, approachable, and built to be used—whether you're new to riding or just looking for something more fun and flexible day to day."

The Trail model features a 32-inch seat height and weighs 253 pounds, while the Street variant has a 31-inch seat height and weighs 266 pounds. Both models include 12-inch wheels and reverse functionality.

The S4 Honcho Trail carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $4,999, while the Street model is priced at $5,499. Production began in late May 2026, with initial units expected to arrive at authorized retail locations during summer 2026.

The motorcycles qualify for A1 licenses in Europe and the United Kingdom, as well as standard motorcycle endorsements in the United States. LiveWire plans to expand global availability throughout 2026 through Harley-Davidson's international dealer network.

The Trail model includes a one-year warranty, while the Street version comes with a two-year warranty. Both models will be available alongside a range of accessories for customization.
