HOLLISTER, Calif. - Californer -- Lightning Motorcycles continues to lead the industry with the LS-218 RR, a machine that not only delivers record-breaking performance but also showcases Lightning's pioneering work in high-voltage powertrain technology.

Capable of accelerating at peak torque to speeds exceeding 200 mph, the LS-218 RR embodies the future of high-performance electric motorcycles. At the heart of this achievement is Lightning's proprietary 800V architecture, developed to deliver unmatched efficiency, speed, and range.

The 800V platform provides:
  • Higher power density
  • 🏁 Longer range
  • Faster charging times
  • 🌱 Lower energy consumption
  • 🪶 Reduced weight

Lightning began development of its 800V system in 2017, long before 800V became an industry trend. This initiative required overcoming significant technical challenges, including:
  • Engineering advanced battery pack and BMS architecture
  • Designing high-voltage inverters and DC/DC converters
  • Securing and qualifying components in a market where 800V solutions were extremely limited
  • Ensuring robust safety, insulation, and thermal stability at high voltage levels

"Lightning's early commitment to 800V technology has positioned us years ahead of the curve," said Richard Hatfield, CEO at Lightning Motorcycles. "What was once considered ambitious R&D is now the benchmark the rest of the industry is working toward."
