Motorcycle.com has just published a video review of the 2024 Livewire Del Mar S2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK9yY5iCD7Y

Can I trust these guys? They say 10.5 kwh battery at somewhere near 10-minute mark. They also say that they ran it until it would only do walking pace 11 miles past when it says 0 left. How much did it take to recharge it? and at what %charge did it start derating. The One by posts on here went pretty far before derating. The Mulholland is the newert variant this one has been out for a while. At least I can go for a test ride. Anyone know what sort of pricing they will actually do. Clearly for the Ktm e motorcycle the actual selling price is way different from what is on youtube videos.
20% to 80% in 45 minutes to an hour right at 10:03. I see the value of 78 minutes at livewire.com

It is a 10.5kWh battery isn't it?

Run the thing down and charge it back and report what it takes. Obviously with level 2 you will get what goes into the on board charger not the actual amount that made it into the battery.
From the livewire website
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY 10.5 KWH NOMINAL
CHARGE PLUG J1772 TYPE 1
LEVEL 1 20-80% 5.9 HOURS
LEVEL 1 0-100% 8.4 HOURS
LEVEL 2 20-80% 78 MINUTES
LEVEL 2 0-100% 142 MINUTES
I get 4.84 kw on board charger. 78 minutes is 1.3 hours.

This is why it's valuable reporting both nominal and usable capacity for batteries. It gives you a good idea of the longevity of the battery, and whether it's going to plummet in output at either end of the charge.

Valuable reporting
What sort of conditions will make it cut out and what to do then and how long does it take to come back. My bike is not like a battery tool like say a circular saw that you just let off and go again.
The Mulhollad has a different front wheel so that part could have been a compare and contrast.
