Lightning Motorcycles

There's some discussion of Lightning here:
Electric Motorcycles

If they would deliver (or even show me a prototype) of the above bike I would be keenly interested. Unfortunately they've only shown the fairly cobbled-together race bike.

Interesting they are claiming to have

Your friendly neighborhood necromancer here - figured I'd revive this thread instead of starting a new one

I'm looking forward to seeing more details on the new Lightning Strike, which has the release scheduled for tomorrow.

Lightning Strike electric motorcycle photos and specs leaked, here they are

Any word on a livestream of a presentation being planned or is this just supposed to be information posted to their web site? Any specific time tomorrow for releasing the information?

Details are out:

Lightning Strike electric motorcycle unveiled: the most affordable high power electric sportbike



Not as much of a game changer as I hoped, but very nice specs. Would likely go with the mid-range model if I get one.

Frustrating that the “battery upgrade” price is roughly $800/kWh, so a little bit of markup there. Not as bad as the battery pricing Pipistrel uses on the Taurus Electro glider, which is $1,583/kWh, but bad compared to Tesla pricing on larger batteries.

I don’t see estimated delivery dates listed, so hopefully the wait until first deliveries isn’t too long.

To be fair, there, you're probably paying the certified aircraft tax...
