LiveWire just showed a sharp sales jump in Q1 2026 after cutting prices across its line-up. Could this be the biggest reality check facing the e-moto sector in 2026?
While we’re all waiting for the S4 Honcho to finally break cover at dealerships, LiveWire’s been back in the garage doing a bit of housekeeping. The Milwaukee brand has quietly tidied up its website and sharpened up the S2 app experience. A clear sign the electric outfit’s getting its tools organised before the next bike lands.
LiveWire has cut the price of the ONE across Europe, with fresh pricing now appearing in the UK, Germany and Switzerland. The bike now starts at £12,990 in the UK, down from £18,290, the kind of move that shifts it out of halo-bike money and into a much more realistic conversation.

Designing a motorcycle is easy if all you want is something that moves on tarmac. Designing one that makes sense, looks good, rides right, and doesn’t hide behind styling fluff? That’s harder. Hugo Eccles, from Untitled Motorcycles, lives in that harder space.
If you’ve ever twisted the throttle and wondered how far you can really push an e-moto — or found yourself stuck in the black hole of range anxiety, durability doubts, and questions about long-term survival — Ben Marshall has the answers.
This year’s Motorcycle Live at the Birmingham NEC felt bigger, louder, and far more dialled-in than previous rounds. As usual, the halls were packed with full line-ups, prototype teasers, and “coming soon” promises from the big-name manufacturers — but 2025’s show had a sharper edge.
How how far can an electric motorcycle actually go? That depends on how the bike is tested, how fast you're riding and how much work you're asking the battery to do. We all know the game by now: big range number on the brochure, smaller number once you hand over your hard-earned cash and start riding the thing. The reason it keeps happening comes down to how electric two-wheelers are tested, and the maths gets pretty ugly once you leave the gentle, controlled world of the tes
