Gas Monkey Garage signs a unique electric motorcycle for LiveWire, proving that custom culture can also embrace electric.
We last saw Richard Rawlings and his famous Gas Monkey Garage in a world filled with roaring V8s and various nitro-fueled mechanics. It is safe to say that seeing the iconic Texan today delve into electric mobility is quite surprising and, it must be admitted, delightful.
The scene takes place at the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show 2026 in Milwaukee, one of the most influential events in custom culture. On this occasion, a unique motorcycle based on the LiveWire S2 Alpinista was unveiled in front of a record-breaking crowd.
Behind this machine is LiveWire, the electric motorcycle brand launched by Harley-Davidson to explore the future of two-wheelers. A seemingly paradoxical position: associating electric with the world of American custom, long inseparable from the roar of big twins. Yet, the outcome proves that these two worlds can perfectly meet.
Harley Spirit at Gas Monkey
The customized S2 Alpinista by Gas Monkey Garage precisely illustrates this new path. Sharp design, radical attitude, and strong personality. The chopper spirit is still there, simply powered by a silent mechanism. A demonstration that electric can also become a field of expression for builders.
For Rawlings, this exercise also carries a hint of redemption. After the famous Ferrari Testarossa revisited, or rather butchered, the Texan returns to a territory he knows infinitely better: that of American custom culture.
Beyond the cultural nod, LiveWire is taking the opportunity to accelerate its strategy. The brand announces a price reduction across its entire S2 lineup for 2026, with new models arriving in European dealerships by April. The brand’s European presence continues to expand, with a network now present in a large part of the continent.
