Josh Herrin, multiple-time MotoAmerica Superbike and Super Hooligan champion, has been out on the Lightfighter V3-RH and dropped a video. It’s not a promo piece, it’s him getting his head around how the thing actually rides ahead of this year’s competition. If you missed it, we covered the V3-RH in February, and this video is the follow-up you’ve been waiting for.
What Herrin's Figuring Out
Herrin’s take is refreshingly straight: the weirdness hits before you even leave the pit lane. No vibration, just silence and a bit of “is this actually on?” Once he’s out on track, the tone shifts, he’s quickly into how the bike delivers its power and offers insights on performance and handling.
At one point the bike briefly cut out in a corner, but it corrected itself and carried on, a small reminder that even a well-sorted electric isn’t perfect.
Hearing directly from Josh in this video is the highlight. He talks through what the bike actually does on track. Its pace, and how it behaves in corners. For anyone curious about moving from an ICE superbike to electric, his perspective is gold. He’s figuring it out in real time and noticing the differences.
The Bigger Take
Beside being a solid bit of promotion for the Lightfighter programme, and a genuinely interesting piece of footage for riders, this is exactly what the wider e-Moto sector needs: rider perspective.
Herrin isn’t selling the V3-RH as a miracle bike, he’s showing what it’s actually like to take an electric onto the track and push it. And that’s the story. For anyone following the Lightfighter project, it shows the bike has tremendous pace, and the quirks you’d expect from a working build.
Herrin also knows the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan Championship grid isn’t going to care about innovation points, only lap times.
Ride safe, folks.
