LiveWire S4 Honcho Street meets MSF criteria for rider training programs

LiveWire says its S4 Honcho Street electric motorcycle has met the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s criteria for use in rider training programs. The change could make it easier for new riders to train and potentially earn a motorcycle endorsement without first learning clutch and gearbox operation on a gas motorcycle.

LiveWire’s smallest electric motorcycle, the S4 Honcho Street, has now met the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s criteria for use in rider training programs.

According to the source, this opens the door for new riders to learn on the electric motorcycle and potentially earn a motorcycle endorsement without first learning to operate a clutch and gearbox on a gas-powered motorcycle.

The report does not say when training programs will begin using the model or whether any specific schools have already adopted it.
