Mission Hot Electric Superbike

Share |
Mission Hot Electric Superbike - Mission Motors rolled into the International Motorcycle Show with a gorgeous e-moto that looks like something you might see from Ducati. That trellis frame is super sexy, Marchesini wheels always look hot and the specs on this beast are impressive.

We are excited to announce the Mission R, our compact and powerful factory electric racebike,” founder Edward West said in a statement. “This bike represents the culmination of all the company’s learning in both electric powertrains and motorcycle engineering.

The liquid-cooled AC induction motor is good for a claimed 141 horsepower and 115 foot-pounds of torque. The motor draws juice from a 14.4 kilowatt-hour battery, which is big for a bike when you consider the Mitsubishi i-MiEV has a 16 kWhr pack. The high-tech drivetrain features a Mission EVT 100 kilowatt motor controller with customizable throttle and regenerative braking maps. Mission claims the bike can hit 160 mph, which seems realistic considering the Mission One hit 150.059 at Bonneville.
