LiveWire and KYMCO announced an expanded strategic partnership in November 2024 to develop an electric maxi-scooter, with the project planned primarily for the European market.
The companies said the project would combine their respective strengths and use LiveWire's S2 powertrain. The announcement described the initiative as an expansion of an existing relationship that originated in 2022 with KYMCO's investment in LiveWire.
The project is significant for the KYMCO Virtual editorial archive because it connects electric powertrain technology, scooter expertise and a cross-company development program in one story.
The companies originally planned a first-half 2026 launch for the project. This article preserves that original announcement rather than presenting the planned date as a current product status.
