According to Lightning Motorcycles founder, Richard Hatfield:“The Lightning data and test results showed us that Ener1’s lithium-ion batteries far out-perform those from competing companies, which is why we switched to using their cells in our electric motorcycles.”
Today, Ener1 and Lightning Motorcycles announced they have completed a supply agreement with Ener1 supplying its automotive-grade, lithium-ion battery cells for use in Lightning’s SuperBike, which owns the world land-speed record for an electric motorcycle. Lightning Motorcycles will also use Ener1’s cells in their commuter motorcycle and scooter, which will be developed over the next several years.
Lightning’s SuperBike became the world’s fastest production electric motorcycle with the FIM and AMA official world record of 173.388 mph during the world finals in October last year.
