It'd also be nice to know what motor they would put in it. Can't have too many EV1 motors laying around.

Hi driv,

It is the 2011 race bike with the Remy motor. The 2010 bike used the EV1 motor.

The Lightning, without a doubt, is the fastest motorcycle I’ve ever ridden – gas or electric.

I'm curious, what will the top speed be with the sprocket it comes with from the factory?

The Remy motor is built up by Lightning and is available for sale in a couple different configurations. Top speed for the bike, as delivered, would be up to the person who purchases it. We know it will do 218, but a more reasonable configuration might be 150. This is really a choice of sprockets and a little programming.
