Lightning Motorcycle is dedicated to the belief that electric motorcycles must be competitive with gasoline powered motorcycles.  It is not enough to just provide an electric alternative. 

It has been said that there are two paths to rapidly move technology forward, war and competition. Lightning Motorcycles is dedicated to the development of electric vehicle technology through competition.  In a shakedown run on the salt flats at Bonneville the Lightning SuperBike became the fastest production electric vehicle in the world with the SCTA Official timed run of 166.388 mph.  We believe this is only the tip of the iceberg of what is possible.  The engineers at Lightning Motorcycles have built the Lightning Superbike to demonstrate that electric motorcycles can provide exceptional performance which requires no apologies.
