LiveWire adds S4 Honcho Skate and Dust models to 2027 roadmap

LiveWire rolls out its biggest electric motorcycle portfolio yet, from kids' balance bikes to performance off‑road models, at Milan’s EICMA show.

LiveWire adds S4 Honcho Skate and Dust models to 2027 roadmap

The LiveWire brand is set to dominate the Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA) from November 5 to 8 sharing Booth E46 in Hall 14 with its parent company Harley-Davidson. Nine machines from three distinct families will be on display, signaling a clear shift from the company’s original premium full-size electric cruiser line toward a broader, tiered catalog that targets riders of every age, skill level, and budget.

Three families, nine models: the complete EICMA lineup

At the show LiveWire will exhibit the Stacyc balance-bike series for children, the versatile S4 Honcho platform for urban and light-off-road use, and the newly-acquired Dust off-road family aimed at more aggressive riding. Together these nine models form a ladder: entry-level balance bikes, lightweight street-legal motorcycles, and purpose-built dirt machines. The strategy is to keep a rider inside the LiveWire ecosystem from first-bike experiences up through high-performance electric motocross.

S4 Honcho – a three-model family takes shape

The S4 Honcho line expands to include the Trail, Street and the just-revealed Skate. The Trail, already in production since 2025, ships worldwide with knobby tires and a rugged chassis. The Street variant, fitted with street-legal lights, mirrors and a removable battery, will make its European debut at EICMA and go on sale in Europe immediately after the fair; in the United States it is slated to appear in the last week of October 2026. The Skate, the newest sibling, will be displayed for the first time in Milan and is slated for a 2027 market entry. Preliminary technical data for the Skate will be released on November 2 with full production specs and pricing slated for the first quarter of 2027.

Dust off-road series – Hightail and Spur enter the spotlight

After acquiring the assets of Dust Moto in, LiveWire is now presenting two Dust models under its own badge. The Dust Hightail is shown in a near-production state and is aimed at a 2027 launch, while the Dust Spur makes its world premiere at EICMA and follows the same 2027 timeline. Both machines target serious off-road enthusiasts, offering electric torque and suspension comparable to conventional dirt bikes. As with the Skate, initial specifications for the Spur will be published on November 2 and final pricing and production details for both Dust models are expected in the first quarter of 2027.

Stacyc balance bikes – growing the next generation of riders

The Stacyc range showcases four variants: the 16eDrive, 20eDrive and their Elite counterparts. These electric balance bikes are designed for children and early-teens, providing a safe, motor-free introduction to two-wheel dynamics. LiveWire reports that more than 250,000 riders worldwide have already taken their first ride on a Stacyc, underscoring the brand’s commitment to nurturing future motorcyclists. While no immediate sales dates were announced for the new Elite models, they will be available alongside the rest of the lineup at the show.

The company plans to release the European version of the S4 Honcho Street right after the fair, while the United States sees that same model at the end of October. Detailed specifications for the 2027-bound Skate and Dust Spur arrive on November 2 and pricing for all 2027 introductions will be disclosed in the first quarter of 2027. With nine models spanning three families, LiveWire is positioning itself as a full-stack provider of electric two-wheel transportation.
