We all know Lightning Motorcycles from their frantic electric superbike the LS-218. Frantic because it makes 227 Nm of torque, 200 Bhp of power and is capable of a top speed of around 350 Kmph with high speed gearing and fairing. But it also costs $38,888 which is ‘a bit too much’ so to speak. But Lightning Motorcycles have confirmed that they are coming up with an electric superbike for the masses. Lightning Strike is the name of the motorcycle and it’ll be unveiled in March 2019.
There has been quite a lot of commotion in the electric motorcycle world with the Harley Davidson LiveWire, Arc Vector and the likes but Lightning Motorcycles have been quiet for some time. The silence has ended with the announcement of the Lightning Strike, which they refer to as an offering from Lightning for the masses. They have stated that the price for Lightning Strike will start from $12,998 which seems spot on for the specs that have been teased for the Lightning Strike.
The teaser does not reveal much about the motorcycle except a very Panigale-ish headlight and some specs. In the teaser they have claimed a range of around 240 Kms, a top speed of around 240 Kmph and 35-minute DC fast-charging capabilities. We believe with the top speed and range being boasted, it will be a fully-faired model and the cues for the styling might come from the big bad LS-218.
