- "The aggressive styling and hyper tuned engine make this a bike that's ready for a fight. Most likely it'll be fighting the back of a truck or a highway barrier, but that'll be down to you.
Features KERS Kinetic energy recovery system, which uses the bike's axle power to generate energy for the hyper cell battery. This power can be delivered to the back wheel via a direct drive brushless motor, giving the bike a hi torque speed boost." - ―Legendary Motorsport description.
The Principe Lectro is a streetfighter featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Heists Update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Lectro's overall design appears to be based on the Ducati Streetfighter S with some elements from the MV Agusta Brutale series.
The Lectro is unique for having tubular frames protecting the engine bay and several modifications to complement its design, including an air filter below the intercooler. The Lectro is characterized by its prominent feature, a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (a.k.a KERS), which is an automotive system for recovering a moving vehicle's otherwise lost kinetic energy under braking and is stored in a reservoir for later use in acceleration. "Kers" can be seen written on the bike.
As explained in the website statement, the Lectro has two wires (black and red) that comes from the rear wheel and passes through the left side of the swingarm and, once reaches the swingarm pivot, the wires goes to the opposite side and leads up to a hyper cell battery located behind the engine. This cell battery is connected to a direct drive brushless motor, which receives the power of the cell battery and employs a chain drive that connects it to the rear wheel pulley, along with the chain drive coming from the primary drives of the bike.
The Lectro does not have a horn sound to it. This is because the Lectro's KERS boost ability uses the horn button.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Lectro is a fairly average performing motorcycle. Its top speed and acceleration are more similar to the Nemesis, being decent but nothing worth noting. Players can use the KERS boost by pressing the left stick to gain a boost, which can be refilled by letting go of the accelerator.
When using the KERS boost, the Lectro is able to keep up, albeit shortly, to the Akuma. However, with only a couple seconds of KERS use before it is used up, the Lectro will begin lagging behind as soon as the KERS is used up. The motorcycle's handling is again, not very notable, though it does feel noticeably heavier than similar motorcycles. Unlike similar motorcycles, the Lectro cannot wheelie at top speed. The bike sports a very rough, high-revving engine.

Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Lectro can be purchased on Legendary Motorsport in GTA Online for $750,000 after completing The Pacific Standard Job.
- After the Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit update, the vehicle is now available to players who have not completed the heist at the "full" cost of $997,500.
Trivia
Grand Theft Auto Online
- At the time of release, the Lectro was the only vehicle to have the KERS system. The second vehicle is the Vindicator, later introduced in the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 Update.
- The KERS boost is not usable in races, making other bikes such as the Bati 800 or Hakuchou better for racing. This is most likely for balancing reasons, especially with the Boost pick-up already implemented for GTA Races.
- As of the Cunning Stunts update, the Lectro and Vindicator can now use their boost in races (if enabled in the Creator).
- The default radio stations of the Lectro are Radio Mirror Park, Vinewood Boulevard Radio, and Los Santos Rock Radio.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- In some cases, the KERS system will not activate when the player presses L3 (PlayStation) or Left Stick Button (Xbox).
