Tire Options

Now offered in a choice of upgraded 10×3″ Tuovt street tires, or the hybrid off-road Tupda 10×3″ type.

The wider tire offers a number of ride quality benefits over the 10×2.5″ size: better stability at speed,  longer service life, & reduced likelihood of punctures, having a larger contact surface area with the road surface.

Knobbly tires are generally not recommended, if intended to use the scooter predominately on paved surfaces; it makes for a rougher ride, & the handling in turns is degraded. However, with this hybrid tire, it offers a compromise between traction off-road, while providing a tread that is continuous enough, where the ride quality is not dramatically negatively impacted for street use.

In short, if you intended to use the scooter exclusively on a paved environment, then go for the street tires. If it’s a mix of paved & off-road terrain, then the hybrid tires will be better suited for your needs.

Fold-in Handlebars & New Grips

With the Xtasy fold-in handlebars, in just a few seconds, the Lightning+ can be folded down to occupy a smaller footprint, 16.7″ less width (10″ wide) in the folded position than the original Lightning, making it more convenient for loading in the trunk of a car, train or storage at home. It also has new & upgraded ergonomic rubberized grips. 

Zoom Hydraulic Brakes

Fitted with the Zoom hydraulic brakes, with larger brake pads; this gives you a more precise & effective braking control than the cable braking on the Lightning  

Upgraded 1200W Motors

Now offered in a more powerful dual-1200W motor configuration, reaching an equivalent motor power output of the top-end Dualtron Thunder. This give the Lightning+ greater hill-climbing & acceleration performance, additional weight penalty is only 1lb more than the original model.  

Battery Pack

Upgraded 60v battery pack with a capacity of 21Ah/1260Wh with enough juice to drive the upgraded dual-1200W motors. This higher voltage translates into improved acceleration, with a higher 5MPH potential max speed/RPM over the original Lightning’s 52v battery. Beyond the voltage difference, the Lightning+ has an additional 303Wh of capacity, translating into approximately 10+ miles of range over the standard Lightning. In the price difference between the types, you’re effectively paying for the higher quality LG battery cell in the Lightning+.

Dual-motor High Performance Scooter

With so many scooters available to choose from, the Lightning stands out in delivering some of the best performance, in the same price bracket as a comparable single-motor scooter from Speedway or other brands. The classic Lightning has dual-1000W motors (upgraded from 2x 800W) & two independent controllers that can deliver a peak power output of 3,600W. The top speed is up to 40MPH on flat ground & has plenty of surplus power to tackle most gradients you can throw at it.  

Attractive Design

With the two tone charcoal black & metallic cherry red accents on the torsion suspension bars & fittings, the Lightning makes a bold statement, a refreshing change from the rather dull monochrome designs of the competition.   

Battery Pack

The classic Lightning is now offered in a single battery size of 957Wh, composed of the Sincpower 18650 2.6Ah cells. By way of comparison, this is 5x larger than the Ninebot ES2 scooter, 2.5x higher than the Boosted Rev & 50% larger than the Turbowheel Dart. On a larger, faster scooter, there is a tendency to operate them at higher speeds, which consumes considerably more battery per mile. Assuming a 160lb Rider, cruising on a long open paths @ 20MPH, the general rule of thumb is that battery consumption is 25Wh/mile, providing about 37 miles with the Sincpower pack. The battery pack is configured as a 14S7P—14 cells in series & 7 parallels, a total of 98x 18650 battery cells. 

Extra Features

There’s a few extra touches that make the Lightning standout from the other models, such the key security system (you’ll still need to physically lock the scooter) & the voltmeter positioned above this. On the side are dual-input charging ports, to use two standard chargers at once—you can also use a 5A rapid-charger, but not 2x 5A chargers at once. Another unique feature to this scooter is the screw-adjustable rear suspension damper, to set the ride firmness to the preference & weight of the Rider.
