US-based LiveWire has begun production of its new electric motorcycle, the S4 Honcho, in Trail and Street versions. Positioned as roughly equivalent to a 125cc moped, the lightweight, affordable model is designed for both urban commuting and light off-road adventure. It's a move by the Harley-linked electric brand to broaden its lineup into a more accessible price range.

LiveWire arriving at an affordable class — that's a big deal to me. A two-pronged Trail and Street lineup covers both street and dirt. If Harley-lineage electric has come down to an approachable size, I can't help wondering what's inside. I want to stare at the spec sheet until it wears out.

Mentioning it's up for a bit of adventure too suggests they're also targeting weekend trail rambles.

What's the S4 Honcho name actually differ in from the existing S2?

Sounds like it's positioned below the S2, in roughly the 125cc-equivalent class - a lighter, more entry-level model.

Offering both Trail and Street versions shows they're going after both city riding and light off-roading.

Even calling it an accessible price bracket, being a LiveWire it's probably still on the bold side.

Still, if it comes in below the existing LiveWire lineup's price, more options is a welcome thing on its own.

LiveWire coming out with something positioned like a 125cc moped equivalent is a nice sign of Harley's electric line widening its base.
