I thought the design looked brilliant.  But it does seem like they're having trouble getting a finished product.

I think that the risk of the battery bricks is more one of durability than actual risk.  It's the internal design that makes it likely to burn, anyhow.  The shell was undeniably too light, without proper edging to prevent cracking and wear damage.   And not having set the bars to the proper turning radius seemed weird.  There were a few ports that needed caps and boots, but the wiring was definitely done to a higher level that the fit on my Zero and maybe even the SR/F.

Definitely a weird choice for a first bike, but possibly easier to handle (as opposed to maintain) than the Energica.

Part 2 is up:

If the bike really had 300 miles on it when the rider picked it up then it sounds like he bought a demo bike and paid the price of a new one! I have bought a few new bikes and none had more than only a few miles on them. Certainly not 300 miles! Wow!

My 2010 Electric Motorsport GPR-S came with 280 miles on the odometer from the factory.  It died about 1000 miles later.

The end of the part 2 video (@ 3:28) says Lightning has

shown some potential progress on the paid for CCS chargers. It is possible these may be added onto the already delivered bikes soon.

How so? Without also changing the battery packs to the 20kWh 300V units?

All we know is Lightning has posted a picture of a CCS station in use.

I still wonder how Lightning plans to fit another 10 KWh of battery into that chassis?

We'll see RSN, when they upgrade The New Guy's bike, won't we??

I hope you won't mind if I don't hold my breath until that happens.
