Lightning Motors was founded by Richard Hatfield in 2006. The company converted a Yamaha R1 race bike to the world’s first lithium battery electric sports bike. This motorcycle proved that electric motorcycles could compete with gas motorcycles.

Current models of Lightning Motorcycles include the following:

• LS-218
• Strike R

Is your motorcycle having mechanical issues or electrical problems? Is your Lightning Motorcycle presenting issues that cannot be repaired even after multiple repair attempts have been made? If so, your motorcycle might be a lemon – and you could have the right to pursue a lemon law claim.

Your right to pursue a claim is based on the Song-Beverly Act, which we refer to as the lemon law. The Song-Beverly Act offers protections to consumers who have purchased defective vehicles, including motorcycles. Given that the affected vehicle meets certain eligibility requirements, affected consumers could file lemon law claims and be compensated.

The eligibility requirements are outlined below:

• The vehicle must have a defect affecting safety, use, or value
• The vehicle must have a defect that cannot be repaired even after multiple, reasonable repair attempts have been made (this number will be based on the specific defect)
• The vehicle must be under an active manufacturer warranty

Under the lemon law, consumers could get some of the following remedies:

• Either a vehicle buyback or a replacement vehicle of similar value
• Reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses associated with repairs, towing, rentals, etc.

In addition, it is important to highlight that, under the lemon law, manufacturers have to cover all legal costs. In other words, if your lemon law claim against Lightning Motorcycle was successful, the company will need to fully pay all legal expenses.

To prepare to file your lemon law claim, you should consider the following:

• Collect all records associated with repairs made on your motorcycle, including records on expenses, specific repairs made, time your motorcycle was in the shop, etc.
• Review and collect documents that show that your manufacturer warranty is active
• Reach out to a lemon law lawyer experienced in claims involving defective motorcycles

Can I handle my motorcycle lemon law claim without a lawyer? – technically, consumers could handle their lemon law claims on their own without representation. However, pursuing a claim without a lawyer is not recommended. Firstly, having a lawyer will ensure that your claim is taken seriously by the motorcycle. Without representation, it is relatively easy for manufacturers to take advantage of consumers by either completely denying claims or by making low settlement offers. When you have an experienced lemon law lawyer on your side, your claim is more likely to be successful.
