Lightfighter has opened public test rides for its V3-RS and V3-RH electric race bikes on dedicated tracks, aiming to prove that high-performance electric دليل motorcycles are more than a concept. The demos let riders experience instant torque and track handling firsthand.
While some electric motorcycle brands struggle to turn dreams into reality, Lightfighter is taking the opposite approach: putting riders in the saddle and letting the bikes speak for themselves. The startup recently announced that its V3-RS and V3-RH electric race bikes are now available for public test rides on organized track sessions.
What does the Lightfighter test ride offer?
According to a report by Visordown, the session allows participants to ride the bikes on a real racetrack under the guidance of professional instructors. The experience is designed to showcase the electric bikes’ capabilities in terms of instant acceleration and cornering stability, without requiring ownership or prior racing experience.
Specifications of the Lightfighter V3-RS and V3-RH
Both bikes are powered by an electric motor producing 120 hp and instant torque, with a battery providing a range of up to 150 km in sporty riding. The weight is around 180 kg, giving a competitive power-to-weight ratio. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes less than 3.5 seconds.
What’s the difference between the V3-RS and V3-RH?
The V3-RS is track-only, while the V3-RH comes equipped for road-legal use (lights, mirrors, indicators). Both share the same chassis and motor, but the RH gets tire and suspension adjustments for daily riding.
How much does a Lightfighter cost, and will it reach Saudi Arabia?
The company has not announced an official price, but estimates suggest it will range between USD 25,000 and 30,000 (approximately SAR 94,000 to 113,000). So far, there is no confirmed information about the bikes arriving in the Saudi or Gulf markets, but the company plans global expansion by 2025.
Can Lightfighter compete with petrol bikes?
Thanks to its instant torque and light weight, the Lightfighter can compete with petrol bikes like the Yamaha R6 or Kawasaki ZX-6R in acceleration. However, its limited range (150 km) makes it suitable for track days and short rides, not long-distance touring. شبكات الشحن infrastructure in the Gulf is still in its infancy, which may delay adoption.
Conclusion: A rare chance to test the future
Lightfighter’s test ride program offers a unique opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to experience high-performance electric bikes without risk. If the demos prove successful, we may see a shift in rider perception from electric bikes as mere commuters to genuine racing tools.
