Lightning Motorcycle sets land speed records and delivers a world-class ride with its pure electric motorcycle
March 26 2024 - 9:00AM
The latest episode of the Vicor Powering Innovation podcast
explores electrification with Lightning Motorcycle Corp., a company
that produces the fastest electric motorcycle on the planet.
Lightning Motorcycle (Lightning) not only manufactures the fastest
motorbike on Earth, but also prides itself on delivering the
smoothest, vibration-free ride for the purist who just loves the
riding experience.
“The bike gives you a feeling of limitless torque with no
vibration, no noise and no heat – there is almost a magical feeling
to it.” - Richard Hatfield, founder and CEO of Lightning
Motorcycle.
Hatfield sits down with David Krakauer, VP of Corporate
Marketing at Vicor, to share his story and how Lightning is able to
engineer a superior motorcycle by nearly every measure.
Lightning, located in Hollister, Calif., is one of the leading
electric motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Hatfield said, “The
biggest challenges we face are packaging, weight and thermodynamics
when competing with internal combustion engine (ICE) bikes.”
Sophisticated engineering has enabled Lightning to keep the weight
of their EVs at about 200lbs, the same as competing ICE bikes.
Lightning has set the land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats
in Utah and won the Pikes Peak challenge (14,115ft elevation) in
Colorado, but Hatfield is prouder of the bike’s unparalleled riding
experience.
