Lightning Motorcycle SuperBike recently broke the record for fastest motorcycle for sale in North America. The bike averaged 215 miles per hour and topped out at 218 MPH when it was tested at the Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week last week. Oh, and it’s electric.

Wow 218 mph on an electric motorcycle. I bet the driver really got a charge out of that.

Watt? Direct your current "ohm my gosh" comments to the reluctant C.O.I.L Chapter. (comedians on intermediate lifesupport)

He could have got himself arrested. Electric motorcycle? Salt flats. It sounds like a sure case of a salt and battery charge!

One hell of a long extension cord needed if you need a charge out there at the finish line.:shock: Just shocking!

No problem designing a fast electric bike the real hard thing is designing one that's fast over a 200 mile course.

I bet it won't be long.
Pull into the pits, swap battery packs and back out on the track.

I am a BIG fan of EV's.
No crankshafts, no pistons, no valves, no clutches, no transmissions, etc.

The more mechanical, the more complicated, The more there is to break.

The only moving part on a electric motor is the rotor - K.I.S.S.
