About Lightning

From the beginning, Lightning’s strategy has focused on developing and integrating core electric vehicle technologies that enable faster charging, higher efficiency, sustained high performance, and a superior rider experience.

Lightning has validated its technologies through competition, extensive testing, and real-world operation, while also providing advanced engineering services to other electric vehicle companies. This technology-driven approach led to the creation of the LS-218 and Strike product platforms, with two new products currently in development, demonstrating the scalability of Lightning’s electric motorcycle architecture.

Lightning’s XFC, an extreme fast-charging system, delivers a 20% to 80% charge in approximately 11 minutes. In parallel, Lightning is actively testing its Gen2 technology platform, focused on further advances in performance, efficiency, and thermal management.

Lightning Motorcycles is an advanced technology company that happens to build motorcycles.
