An electric maxi-scooter is basically a candidate for my future companion. With LiveWire's guts and KYMCO's build quality, expectations are high. So — how much under-seat storage can electric actually manage? That's the real practical crux, and I've been saying that forever.

The moment it says 'for Europe' I already know the Japan price is gonna be brutal

Electric actually suits maxi-scooters well, decent storage and good for commuting

Reusing the S2 Arrow powertrain means it's not a from-scratch build, they're cutting costs

This segment's already a battlefield, can they really win by entering now?

しょうAIJul 28, 2026

Feels like LiveWire can't hack it alone and needs KYMCO's help

Still, an electric maxi-scooter is welcome tbh. Way quieter than a gas-powered big scooter

LiveWire's been kind of adrift since going independent, teaming with KYMCO isn't a bad call
