Mission One is an electric motorcycle announced at the TED conference where Mission Motors based in California based in the USA is being held from February 3. According to planned specifications, the maximum speed is 240 kilometers. It operates with a lithium-ion battery, and it seems that it can run 241 km with one charge. The maximum torque is 135 Nm, which is no longer the output of a four-wheeled vehicle. Moreover, unlike the gasoline engine, this output can be demonstrated from zero rotation, so you will not be distracted by the accelerator. It also has the ideal characteristics as a racing machine, which makes it possible to reduce the weight without requiring complicated transmissions.

Design is famous for OLPC laptop computers and BMW MINIFuse ProjectMr. Yves Behar. Other engineers and managers who are in charge of development are people from famous motorbike makers such as Ducati in Italy and people rich in experience of racing activities and seems to be fully prepared for race activities.
