Lightning Motorcycles recently returned from a nearly two-year absence when it announced a partnership with Niobium specialist CBMM for a new speed record run. During that period, the firm downsized its Hollister, California, operation, moving into a corner of motorcycle saddle brand Corbin’s headquarters. That shrinking footprint hasn’t shrunk Lightning’s ambition, though, and the startup has big plans for the future.
Lightning isn’t keeping the project under wraps either. Deemed the Streetliner, drawings of the fully-enclosed electric motorcycle have already seen the light of day. Lightning even shared a video of the Streetliner in action with electric vehicle outlet Electrek in June, 2020. The footage not only shows the prototype testing on the street but also reveals Lightning’s aerodynamic testing apparatus.
