The Mission One is a high performance electric motorcycle powered by Lithium
ion batteries, the kind your cellphone uses. While that in itself is a fantastic
achievement, wrap your head around the specs; it can get up to 240 kmph quite
easily and is made from superbike parts (the whole kit, including racing
compound tyres, racing suspension and high performance brakes). Note that an
electric motor doesn't have a torque curve; it produces the full amount right
from the word go. And the Mission One has no gears and no clutch. In other
words, the acceleration will be gut-wreching. The batteries are modular, so they
can be replaced in parts as needed. It takes about 2.5 hours for a full charge
(from a 220V socket) plus get this, the bike is wireless enabled. With a
wireless laptop, you can access ride data, check bike status and change
settings. Expected price would be somewhere around US$ 68,995
