This kind of reporting, similar to the descriptions of the LiveWire in many press outlets, really irks me. No hard questions, no fact checking:
"My goal is to see Lightning Motorcycles everywhere. I want to see Lightning Motorcycles in front of stores, restaurants and streets everywhere."
If that's true, then why no bike, no dealers, no demo rides?
"A distributor must create a good network in the country or the area with strong after sales/customer support. Ideally, importer/dealer should already be experienced and successful in distributing motorcycles."
This sounds good but again, where are the dealers? They don't exist and you're not going to achieve the first goal without a dealer network, whether external (like ICE brands) or internal (like Tesla).
...and the kicker:
"Will you be ready once the Japanese big4 decides to enter in electric motorcycle market?
Yes we are. And I think we do actually have the technology and the resources equivalent to what they have at his moment. With AI, we do not need large numbers of engineers to design new parts. Even more, we have the records and experiences on the road with customers. So we are, may be a very little but, ahead of them. I am waiting for them to get in the market!"
How can you claim equivalency when your product you're touting (the Strike) lacks even the basic features most bikes, ICE or Electric are coming with (traction control, ABS, rider modes)? Not to mention his claim of having records and experiences on the road with customers. What customers? Certainly not Lightning's since as has been posted before no one's heard of anyone actually owning one. This circles back to the first quote above, wanting to see Lightning's everywhere...on every street and in front of every shop?
As much as I want Lightning to succeed, you don't succeed when you don't address your faults. Like I've posted in other threads, this whole Strike launch really smacks of the original Skully fiasco.
