LiveWire has launched its Twist & Go promotion, giving riders a limited-time chance to snag major incentives on its entire S2 lineup. Running from August 28 through October 31, 2025, the initiative also comes with new rider-focused features designed to elevate the electric motorcycle experience.

But this isn’t just a quick clearance or flash sale. Spanning more than two months, the promotion feels more like a strategic price reset, signaling LiveWire’s push to make electric motorcycling more accessible while reinforcing its role as an innovator in the segment.

LiveWire’s Twist & Go promotion delivers dramatic price reductions across the S2 lineup, resetting expectations for what an electric motorcycle can cost. The S2 Del Mar, previously listed at $16,249, now starts at $9,999, marking a massive $6,250 drop. The S2 Mulholland falls from $16,499 to $10,999, a savings of $5,500, while the adventure-ready LiveWire S2 Alpinista slides from $15,999 down to $11,999, a $4,000 reduction. These deep cuts place LiveWire’s bikes squarely in reach for a far wider range of riders than ever before.

Unlike a fleeting clearance event, these pricing incentives stretch over two months—running through October 31, 2025, or while inventory lasts. By slashing thousands off the MSRP for an extended period, LiveWire is signaling a deliberate shift in accessibility rather than a short-term sale, positioning the S2 lineup as a new benchmark for value in the electric motorcycle market.

LiveWire is also enhancing the riding experience with two highly requested features delivered via a free software update for all S2 motorcycles. The first is Reverse, which provides controlled backward propulsion to make tight parking spots and tricky maneuvers easier. The second is Roll-Forward Regenerative Braking, enabling riders to engage full regen by rolling the throttle forward—adding convenience while boosting efficiency.

With major price cuts and smart new features, LiveWire is clearly steering its S2 lineup toward greater accessibility and long-term leadership in the electric motorcycle market.

Porsche

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

Now, the team behind PTX is expanding into new offerings for the car.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
