nice
If my Google search is correct, this company is now defunct as a motorcycle builder. They supply parts for other electric vehicles these days and that's all. Sad.
A top of the line Zero electric bike (I rode 2 Zeros last week) is about $10,000 less than the Mission.
So sad. They should have teamed up with Remac or Tesla. I would buy 1 for sure.
ashame they went bankrupt. it's a really nice looking bike
Sounds like a dentists drill….looks good though !
simply beautiful. I want one!
great bike
It's a shame they went belly up. Have to wait for Tesla to build an e-bike.
The thing with electric is they need to bring the price down. I think that they gouge customers. Since it does not use gas they charge the customer significantly more which would be how much you would spend in fuel in the lifetime of the vehicle. Instead of spending it on fuel they want it directly to them.
it's funny he said scammers and these guys never made it, and likely scammed, interesting.
what happened to mission motorcycles?
$29K for an electric motor and a battery? How freaking STOOPID!!!
What scammers that Jay was talking about at the beginning of the video?
yamaha r1 0-100 in 2.5 sec suck on that mission rs ,
That is what the KTM RC690 should look like 😍
hmmm he didnt mention how long it takes to charge the bike 1-2 hrs ?
I'm sticking with the R1 but good luck with sells but just not my money beside why does the electric bikes with the nice fairing kits cost so much in the ones that don't have nice fairing kits cost so less? I just don't understand !
Great for the track I guess. Too heavy and powerful for street use and other countries. If there was one under 400lbs then… Oh boy.
I wish they were still in business.
You need Elon Musk thinking to run this project.
It seems so easy to slip stuff by people on the internet. Both Leno and anyone watching this video were duped by Mission. (4 years later no bikes were "hand delivered" to ANYONE'S door!) And so people won't put down disappearing deposits after watching future episodes of featured "vapor vehicles", maybe asking for ANY proof of production might be a good idea Jay.
But all that being said the bike has some serious design issues. The swingarm is possibly the shortest ever put on a "performance" bike. The length of MotoGP bike swingarms are long to provide traction and proper handling exiting corners under acceleration. Not here. And if you look at the bare frame photos it seems James Parker has designed a glorified battery tray not a performance bike chassis. Last time I checked the forces acting on the steering head are transferred in a straight line to the swingarm pivot by some form chassis. Not here.
Feeling duped yet?
5:16 BS answer. Wear and tear will be a lot greater at high speeds without a gearbox. Efficiency will also suffer. And you have that horrible high-pitched whining noise when you take it out on the freeway to see how she cruises.
Grab yourself a new Shoei Jay they are more suited to your melon and better than Arai in my opinion anyway.
