After having responded to Lightning representatives consistently at their appearances that they need to make a sport-touring version, I feel a short rhetorical statement worth repeating:
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what it'll take to get a robust production electric motorcycle meant for travel instead of a moonshot small-batch bike that's more likely to kill the owner or break than deliver usable value.
When will a company actually assemble a bike with fault-tolerant boards, a real robust frame, and put a conventional-looking but sculpted fairing on it?
And yes, I've heard it's a matter of a bunch of really impossible to wrangle vendor supply chains, unprecedented marketing, and investor confidence, but I still have to point out that the surviving batch of electric motorcycle manufacturers are running out the clock on the investor confidence front.
