Mission One electric superbike promises green performance

By now, you’ve probably seen the Mission One electric superbike. It’s a rare motorcycle that can garner the kind of instantaneous, Internet-wide coverage this bike has. How has it done so? With a mix of green credentials, good design and high performance; the Mission One will hit 150mph and has a range of up to 150 miles on a full charge. But while we feel all the positive press is deserved, we want to take a closer look at the reality behind its creator’s claims.

Update: We’ve embedded the first video of the Mission One live and in the flesh below. While the bike does appear to both  exist and be capable of spinning the rear wheel under its own power, we’re still disappointed that we haven’t seen it in motion yet.
