Lightning / Re: Whatever Happened to Lightning Motorcycles?
« on: November 03, 2023, 08:33:37 PM »It seems as if their "engineering services" are what is keeping Lightning financially afloat. Building bikes is more of a sideline for them.Yup. The LS-218 was never a production motorcycle. The only 2 accounts of one I've seen on the Web by an owner were for highly customized non-street-legal racebikes. One was on this forum, for a bike with stronger engine, no lights and (possibly) a smaller battery.
The Strike was announced in April 2019 starting at $13K. I've yet to see any actual owner description, except for one motorcycie novice who was sold an incomplete prototype with half the battery (MVetter checked out that bike, as I recall).
So no, Lightning isn't a production motorcycle company.
