Tire Options
You can now choose between upgraded 103′′ Tuovt street tires or hybrid 103′′ Tupda off-road tires.
The wider tire is more comfortable to ride on than the 102.5′′ size because it is more stable at high speeds, lasts longer, and is less likely to get a flat because it has a larger contact area with the road.
If you plan to use the scooter mostly on paved surfaces, you probably don’t want knobby tires. They make the ride rougher and make it harder to turn. But this hybrid tire is a good compromise between traction off-road and ride quality on the street. It has a tread that is continuous enough that it doesn’t change the ride quality much.
In short, choose the street tires if you only plan to use the scooter on paved surfaces. If there is a mix of paved and dirt tracks roads, the hybrid tires will be better for you.

Fold-in Handlebars & New Grips
With the Xtasy fold-in handlebars, the Lightning+ can be folded down in just a few seconds. When folded, it takes up 16.7 inches less space (10 inches) than the original Lightning, making it easier to store in the trunk of a car, on a train, or at home. It also has new and improved ergonomic grips made of rubber.
Zoom Hydraulic Brakes
With the Zoom hydraulic brakes, which have bigger brake pads, you can stop more precisely and effectively than with the Lightning’s cable brakes.
Upgraded 1200W Motors
Now available with dual 1200W motors, which are more powerful and have the same motor power output as the top Dualtron Thunder. This makes the Lightning+ better at climbing hills and getting up to speed, but it makes it 1 pound heavier than the original model.
Battery Pack
Upgraded 60-volt battery pack with a capacity of 21Ah/1260Wh, which gives the upgraded dual-1200W motors enough power. This higher voltage means faster acceleration and a higher 5MPH max speed/RPM than the 52v battery in the original Lightning. In addition to the difference in voltage, the Lightning+ has an extra 303Wh of capacity, which gives it about 10 or more miles more range than the standard Lightning. The price difference between the two types is mostly due to the fact that the Lightning+ has a better LG battery cell.
Lightning vs Lightning+ Differences
- Fixed vs folding handlebars on the Lightning+
- Lightning comes with cable mechnical disc brakes, Lightning+ is fitted with the Zoom hydraulic system
- Pair of 1,000W motors, which has been upgraded to 1,200W motors on the Lightning+
Dual-motor High-Performance Scooter
Even though there are a lot of scooters to choose from, the Lightning stands out because it has some of the best performance for the same price as a similar single-motor scooter from Speedway or another brand. The original Lightning has two 1000W motors (upgraded from two 800W motors) and two separate controllers that can deliver a maximum of 3,600W. On flat ground, it can go as fast as 40 mph, and it has more than enough power to handle most hills.
Attractive Design
With its two-tone charcoal black and metallic cherry red accents on the torsion suspension bars and fittings, the Lightning makes a strong statement, which is a nice change from the rather boring black-and-white designs of its competitors.
Battery Pack
The classic Lightning is now available with a single 957Wh Sincpower 18650 2.6Ah cell battery. Compared to the Ninebot ES2 scooter, this one is 5 times bigger, 2.5 times taller, and 50% bigger than the Turbowheel Dart. On a bigger, faster scooter, people tend to drive it at higher speeds, which uses a lot more battery per mile. Assuming a 160-pound rider going 20 mph on long, open paths, the general rule of thumb is that the battery will use 25Wh per mile, giving the Sincpower pack about 37 miles of range. The battery pack is set up as a 14S7P, which means that it has 14 cells in a row and 7 cells in parallel, for a total of 98 18650 battery cells.
Extra Features
There are a few extra features that make the Lightning stand out from the other models, like the key security system and the voltmeter that is placed above this. You can use two standard chargers at the same time with the dual-input charging ports on the side. You can also use a 5A rapid charger, but not two 5A chargers at the same time. The screw-adjustable rear suspension damper is another thing that makes this scooter stand out. It lets the rider set how firm the ride is based on his or her weight and personal preference.
