So, let's say I wanted to buy one of these wonder bikes myself, so I can compare it head to head with the EGO I currently have, and have posted pictures of it along with me, and it running on the track. How would I get one of these new bikes. Id appreciate it being brand new, like the EGO if you order it, not some cludged together cancer made from various prototype parts. How much would that set me back and is that even possible?
Are there any pictures of this new improved battery pack bike on the net anywhere? Is it available for us mere mortals?
Seriously, Id want one so I could head to head it with my own EGO and see how each performs under ideally the same conditions.
But let's not just take my limited skill word for it....
Im getting to know several decent people who actually KNOW how to ride a bike, and how to ride it well, unlike someone like oh say.... me...
One of them even said he knows the owner of Lightning, tested his bike way back, etc. I'll leave out the rest of what he said...
Im sure they'd LOVE to hop on a new E bike for a rip run, especially after riding my EGO and going oh holy shit!!, this thing is fkn Crazy~~~! I KNOW they'd love to test one of these Lightnings and give me HONEST feedback on it since the EGO blew them away so wildly!
Honesty is a good thing in this world, this sport, whatever you want to call it.
I got honest feedback on my curent EGO. I had handling issues with the front end, didn't know what to call it or how to properly explain it, so had a few PRO's ride the bike who DO know what to call it, and explain it properly. Now We have a very good idea what's not right, We have a solid plan now how we are going to work the front end to perfection!! It's mostly tuning.
Nothing wrong with problems, it happens, but being shady about them, and all this hidden extreme apparent altruism.. yah that don't ring true most the time. I get it if a company did a HUGE solid deal for someone and told them, please keep this to yourself, it'd cause us issues if it went public what we did for you. I totally get that. but to just disappear like happened here? Nobody buys that.
Why isn't appollo posting anymore, unless that was really you, and this is just your newest moniker. The way he was bragging up how awesome bla bla, the bike was, we'd have expected to hear a lot more, not just a hit and run. So he crashed, big deal, it happens, I ran off a few times already, once being stupid, the other 2, learning my limits. Luckily I did not crash, but I am sure, sooner or later it's waiting for me. NOTHING to be embarrassed about, that is how we learn.
You said we can check with him if what you say is true. Well we ARE checking with him, he's not answering, which add's even more strength to the pole waving the BS flag. You seem to know a lot about him and have a rapport, tell him to get his ass over here and give us an update!
Let's do this, Lets go head to head with these bikes. Let's get an honest ride of both, and see how they run with each other.
At the very least. Man if we video'd this, this could be a total blast!! shit ...imagine if we rented out a track for a day, up here it's only about 3 or 4k, I could that that very easily. Have an E bike get together where we just show up, run our bikes, brag em up, have a great time and talk bikes !! The camaraderie, this could be an awesome event!! We could even invite our friends who run ICE bikes, so we can talk crap with them too!!
Have a party after the track closes for the night....Let's make it happen.
Where to get the new improved Lightning at so we CAN do this
