Lightning LS-218 motorcycle revealed

I wonder how many bikes they will be able to make this year?  The ones that I have seen appear to have been one-off, hand-made, vehicles.  Ramping up production to meet the likely demand is going to take a lot of time, money, staff, space, equipment and work.  Plus, I wouldn't go bragging too much about the bike's top speed or the U.S. press will hear about it and start wringing their hands in news reports, followed by a politician or two demanding that something be done to neuter the bikes so that they won't be able to pass their limos on the highway.

I'll take one with a 20 kWh battery pack

Here is a Motorcycle.com video review of the Lightning superbike from two years ago.  Hopefully, there will be more current information and videos coming soon:
