Alex Earle's E/MULHOLLAND electric canyon racer based on the LiveWire ONE motorcycle.

Excellent interview with the great bike designer. Keep it up Jack!

[@johnk.asenso9936]

I'm thoroughly impressed.

[@ChitFromChinola]

Terrific interview. Love hearing the way elite designers think. Love it.

[@612doteth]

Jack, you currently have the best channel on KZbin right now. (I am a biased because I bought a Livewire One a month ago and absolutely love it!) In regards to this guy... I think he's really "stretching" to try to stay in the custom motorcycle business. Besides maybe the wheels, there are no performance upgrades he is doing here. He just created add-ons to make it the way he feel it should look and ride.

[@freedomiseverything]

Thanks for the compliment! In regard to Alex's bike, it is a design exercise intended to inspire. It has several really cool design elements that I have not seen before: a) Using liquid cooled heat sinks on the front and rear fenders to dissipate heat. b) Using a paint color intended to make the "tank" disappear when viewed from a distance. c) Shortening the perceived height of the bike by extending the cooling fins to the bottom of the "tank." d) Chopping the front fender, adding a triangular cooling structure and accenting it with a yellow line to make the bike look shorter and more muscular. e) A pair of side facing headlights to improve safety when riding in the canyons. f) A rear tail and light assembly inspired by desert racing. And finally, the E/Mulholland was the test mule for the BST carbon wheels that many LiveWire owners (including myself) consider the best modification for the LiveWire ONE. Alex worked with LiveWire's engineers and BST to get it done. That's 5 pounds off on the front and 8 pounds off on the rear. Take off another few pounds off the back by ditching the rear fender and lights and you've lost about 16 pounds of unsprung weight including 13 of those pounds being revolving mass. You get faster acceleration, better braking and lighter steering. Thanks Alex!

Do they have charging stations easily accessible in the canyons?

[@ADEker]

I like the stand where the bike is on aswell is that a known brand ? or did mulholland do it himself aswell?

1) there must be reason HD used heavy tires...(may be to compensate max power coming from that big motor.) 2) heavy tires keep center of gravity low to d ground n along d bike, if u use light tires it might be hard to control bike at max power.

[@ItsaQthing]

Heavy forshadowing maybe? So crazy someone has found out the name of the next bike is the s2 Mulholland!

[@bartlawhorn2762]

Not my cup of tea

[@sunsinger970]

Trying to inspire "hotrodders of the future" then you need to be the hot rodder of the now. Make a bike faster, or just accept that your helping bring the death of hotrods/tuning by supporting electric takeover.

[@freedomiseverything]

I can relate to your feelings about the "electric takeover." I remember when all TVs were black and white. There were no seatbelts in cars in those days. Most people didn't lock their doors at night and a I remember gas at $.25 a gallon. We didn't know it at the time. But, my generation has damaged our planet irreparably. My children and grandchildren will pay a high price for my ignorance and recklessness. My pride and joy use to be a hot-rodded 502 stuffed into a motorcycle frame. Looking back now, it was just foolishness. Alex is trying to take guys like us in a new direction. I think we all need to sit back and take a hard look at what Alex is saying with this motorcycle.

[@IIARROWS]

3:28 it might be "functional" but it's going to be irrelevant... you don't have any surface contact or enough heat transfer to make it functional.

[@JohnSmith-de2mz]

I'd like to see his redesign of the New Sporty, both the S and the Nightster. The right side of the engine looks ok but could use help and the left side REALLY needs help, way too busy

[@freedomiseverything]

I agree. I'd love to see Alex do more motorcycles.
