The video is a compilation of firsts for a BEM (Battery Electric Motorcycle) according to Mission, the business behind one of the most powerful all-electric Sportbikes in existence.

An electric Sportbike that can wheelie at 80 mph? An electric Sportbike that turned in 150 + mph runs at Bonneville this month? An electric Sportbike says it all. Fast, fun and quiet all the while being friendly to the environment and a new owners wallet.

This is a Missions production prototype of the Mission One, a soon to be available bike. The bike will only get better as they continue to develop and improve the powertrain.

Missions Statement, “Let the era of the electric Superbike begin” is one we cannot wait to see develop and encourage to its final conclusion... Whatever that may be :)

Next up is improved aerodynamics which are usually horrible on a motorcycle.
