Lightning Motorcycles destroys old speed records - goes over 200mph!

Electric motorcycle tech has been moving along at a fairly rapid pace and I was very happy to see the top speed records falling as fast as they have been. Electric motorcycles have been competing with ICE (internal combustion engine) bikes since last year and have been very competitive, even winning some races.

I was thrilled when an electric motorcycle went over 176 mph last year. That record was thoroughly destroyed with a run on August 13 at over 205 mph. Later in the week they went on to push the speed up to over 217 mph. I don't think that 300 mph is going to be that far off.
