Nov. 15, 2012 — A solar-powered electric production motorcycle set a new land speed record in California this week, reaching 189.086
miles per hour in 1.3 miles. The Lightening SuperBike, created by Lightning Motorcycles, tore down a short course in the Mojave Desert.

Before the bike was ready to race, a 48-kilowatt-hour battery pack was charged from a mobile solar power unit called Solar Eclipse, made by DC Solar Solutions. That in turn was used to fuel the motorcycle’s onboard battery pack, which the company calls the most powerful and safest currently available.

Racer Jim Hoogerhyde rode the motorcycle on three runs in the El Mirage Lake bed, beating the previous record of slightly over 170 mph
there. The international solar tech company SMA Group sponsored the endeavor.This isn’t the first record Lightning Motorcycles has smashed. In 2011, it set a land speed record of 215.960 mph with a top speed of 218.637 mph on a longer course at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Outside the racecourse, the SuperBike has a combined city and highway EPA range of
more than 150 miles. Pricing for the motorcycle starts at $38,888.
