Mission Motors began with the dream of building a high performance electric sportbike that represented no compromise compared to existing gasoline sportbikes. In fact, we wanted to make an electric sportbike that was better than gasoline bikes. This has been our singular goal from the founding of this company over two years ago: to build the future of motorcycling.
Now we think of things a bit differently. This is no longer the future of motorcycling; it is the present.
We are extremely pleased to be able to share with you some of the fruits of our labors. This demonstration represents the culmination of a lot of hard work by the highly talented Mission Motors team.
We show in this compilation of footage a few firsts. An electric sportbike that can power wheelie at 80MPH. An electric sportbike that turned in 150MPH runs at Bonneville (with individual runs as high as 161 mph), shattering the land speed record for electric motorcycles. An electric sportbike that can pound lap after knee dragging lap at Infineon raceway. An electric sportbike that accelerates so smoothly and handles so nimbly that it is like nothing else on the market, delivering torque smoothly from 0MPH to 150MPH all in one gear.
This is not a one-off exotic race vehicle. This is a production prototype of our first motorcycle, the Mission One, to be delivered next year. The bike will only get better from here as we continue to develop the product and improve the powertrain.
Here at Mission Motors, we’ve been hard at work building a bike so extraordinary, that even a year ago it would have been impossible to believe it could be built. And it still wouldn’t be, save for the tenacity of one of the most gifted and talented teams ever assembled.
Let the era of the electric superbike begin.

Nice job, guys!
Emily Kaplan says:
That totally ROCKS! I read about this on Engadget.com, but I’m loving the blog, much better for my Mission updates! You guys are amazing. HI DAD!!!
rex king says:
this is really cool, the thing i question is how many ride hours do your get per charge, how long do the batteries hold up and will they come in crusing bikes also,i am a little too old to for a crotch rocke. thank you
Anja Ulfeldt says:
Wow! Congratulations! Hope to see you guys soon!
Love,
Anja
m says:
Nice, your real fast
could you give us some more specs…
400m DA or 0-62MPH
Thanks

Who was the rider during the Bonneville record?….good show…..stan berde
Edward West says:
That was Jeremy Cleland piloting the Mission One at Bonneville.
Joe Ross says:
Could you give me an idea when the price of this bike would be available to the “average” wage earner?
Dustin Dockery says:
So I love your concept but I do have a question as a sorta motor head why not use two batterys and an altenator from like a car to recharge the battery or to charge one battery while you run on the other less charge time more milage but I was just curious
Edward West says:
Good thinking, Dustin– the only problem here, though, is that that the generator you use to charge the battery will actually draw *more* energy from the battery than it is able to replace! So that means that it will wear out both batteries faster than if you are just traveling without trying to generate electricity.
However, you are on to something: when the vehicle is braking, we do use the motor as a generator– as it slows down, it converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electricity stored in the batteries. So we like your idea– we only use it when we’re slowing down though. Anything else would be a drain on the batteries.
