Is that a surprise to you and the customer?

So it would appear the customer expected such.  I have not yet figured out how to find the results and see if Steven had another bike to enter.

Racing is really dangerous. I see a picture of him with a cast on an arm.

Whether Harley is somehow behind this has crossed my mind.

So in the LA to Vegas write up there was a picture with two Energicas on the back of a motorcycle moving truck.
Was that yalls company?

No, we really wanted t do the LA Vegas trip too, but couldn't make it.

Poor guy got sideswiped at an intersection on his LiveWire after a day of track practice. Often times the road is more dangerous than the track.

I was thinking of Lightning's track record for delivering the LS-218 and some of their other models, like a street electric motorcycle that was on display at the EV show in San Jose in 2014. I think the price of that bike was said to be around $17K. Here is a poster ad from the Lightning display at the 2014 San Jose EV show. If anyone has actually received an LS-218 I haven't heard about it.

If you dig around on this subforum you will find a guy who has a custom 700 volt track-only LS218 that he uses for going very fast in a straight line. AKA drag races.

That makes one. Doesn't seem like quite enough sales to keep a motorcycle company open for very long. 

And then there was the guy, I think he was from South Africa, that blew his stack over his order of a couple of LS-218 bikes and claimed that he paid for the bikes and they never came. I am pretty sure that his long rant can also be found on this sub-forum.

BTW, here is a photo from the 2014 EV show of Lightning's pre-production electric motorcycle that was proposed to be sold for street use on the retail market as a competitor to Zero and Brammo.  A precursor of the Strike. Anyone every seen one of these on the road?

I thought I saw a white one on 9 at Skyline, but they wouldn't talk to me.

That might have been an employee from Lightning going out for a test ride. 

[Electric Cowboy]

The red bike shown above is just a standard wuxi electric motorcycle. Much like the little mini bike they said they made. You can actually buy both on Alibaba from several manufacturers.

[caza]

It always seemed really odd how obvious that mini-bike was the same as a million cookie cutter china bikes we've seen before but seemingly no one that covered it noticed or called it out.

[Crissa]

It was called out everywhere it showed up here?
