LiveWire, the company spun out of Harley-Davidson’s electric division, has announced the specs of its S2 Del Mar e-motorcycle. The upcoming bike, which we already knew would cost $15,499, can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, has a top speed of 103 mph and 84 horsepower (63 kW).
The company announced preliminary S2 Del Mar specs earlier this year, but the official details slightly surpass some expectations. For example, LiveWire had said the bike would have a 110-mile city range, but it’s now rated for 113 miles of urban riding on a single charge. Its 3.0-second acceleration from zero to 60 mph is slightly faster than the originally advertised 3.1 seconds. In addition, its previously stated 184-pound-foot torque rating is now 194 ft-lb.
On the other hand, the S2 Del Mar is a bit heavier than expected: It’s now listed as 436 lbs in running order, as opposed to the 431 lbs LiveWire announced in April. Level 2 charging (for juicing its battery from 20 percent to 80 percent) is now listed at 78 minutes vs. the initial 75 minutes. The bike still doesn’t support fast charging and is limited to Level 1 and Level 2 capabilities. Of course, the S2 Del Mar is built as more of a commuter motorcycle than something you’d rely on for long distances: It’s only rated for 43 miles of sustained highway driving at 70 mph and a combined (highway / city) 70-mph range of 62 miles. If you drop it down to 55mph, it’s rated for 70 miles on the highway and 86 miles combined.
The bike supports OTA updates. “Now your motorcycle can receive updates and improvements as we develop them — keeping things easy, and keeping you riding,” the company’s website states. The bike has a four-inch round screen, connects to phones through USB-C and supports app-based navigation.
The S2 Del Mar still has the previously advertised $15,499 MSRP. Although we don’t yet know its release date, LiveWire earlier targeted a July US launch; with specs in hand, perhaps its official arrival isn’t far behind.

Did you ever feel that your Assassin’s Creed experience wasn’t personal enough? Maybe not, but Ubisoft is betting that you’d like to give it a try regardless. The company has teamed up with OWO to release an Assassin’s Creed Mirage edition haptic feedback shirt. Put it on and you’ll feel parkour, impacts and “exclusive sensations never felt before” — yes, really. You might want to close the door while you’re playing, from the sound of it.
OWO’s shirt includes haptic points at on your chest, stomach, lower back and arms. The trick is an algorithm that adjusts nine wave parameters to simulate interactions ranging from the wind to a dagger. You can use a mobile app to calibrate sensations in specific games or replace them with your own. Compatible games frequently rely on mods (such as Fortnite and Beat Saber), but there are already a handful of native games like Crisis Brigade 2 Reloaded and Drone War. This is the first major collaboration.
Details of pricing and a release date are yet to come, but the haptic apparel will work with PS4, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game will be released October 12th, and the OWO shirt will include a game code. OWO’s Founder Edition shirt sold for €499 ($560), but it was also part of a 2,000-unit batch and won’t necessarily reflect the final price.
Wearable haptics for games aren’t new, but they tend to be experimental efforts. See Sony’s Rez Infinite synesthesia suit from 2017 as an example. The Assassin’s Creed collaboration won’t necessarily take that tech into the mainstream, but it’s coming right as the next generation of mixed reality headsets is coming to market. Don’t be surprised if haptics gain some traction as immersion becomes more important in AR and VR games.

If you’ve had your eye on the new Echo Show 5 but weren’t able to grab one on Prime Day, the diminutive smart display is back on sale for $50. While we saw the device go for $5 less during Amazon’s sales event, that deal was exclusive to Prime members. This $40 discount is open to everyone and marks the second-lowest price we’ve seen since the display arrived in May. The Kids version of the display is also on sale for $60, though that’s $10 more it was on Prime Day.
Though we haven’t reviewed this third-gen version of the Echo Show 5, the device is a largely iterative update over its predecessor, which was a pick in our guide to the best smart displays. The new version should still function best as a smart alarm clock, as its 5.5-inch panel is a more natural fit on a bedside table than the larger Echo Show models. Its ambient light sensor automatically lowers the screen’s brightness when it’s dark, while a tap-to-snooze function lets you smack the top of the device for a few more minutes of rest. It’s still an Echo, so it can also stream music, pull up weather info, control smart home devices and do other Alexa-related tasks. And while no device like this is ideal for the privacy-conscious, there’s at least a physical camera shutter and a mic mute button.
The new Echo Show 5 slightly improves the processor and speaker system, though it still won’t be as fast or full-sounding as the Echo Show 8, our chief recommendation for those who want an Alexa smart display. (That 8-inch display is now available for $75, which is $15 more than its Prime Day price.) Likewise, the 2-megapixel camera is mediocre for video calls, and the 960 x 480 resolution display is far from luxurious for viewing photos. Still, if you regularly use Alexa, have limited space and want to pay as little as possible for a competent display, the Echo Show 5 makes sense at this price.
