An electric motorcycle

The RS version has been getting rave reviews. Despite the weight, the nature of the power delivery and lack of gears to fiddle with apparently make it devastatingly fast: <a href="http://rideapart.com/2013/08/rideapart-review-2014-mission-rs/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rideapart.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;08&#x2F;rideapart-review-2014-mission-r...</a>

Okay, maybe I am blind, but where is the weight? Real world mileage is such a vague term and such a silly one when discussion &quot;superbikes&quot;. Whats my track time? I really want to know, I am not going to ride it sedately, so whats my real world mileage when I can&#x27;t keep from twisting the throttle so hard?<p>could I get from Atlanta to Deal&#x27;s gap and back? Nope? Well I am not a fan of trailer queens.<p>Get me something that gets me to and from work like my K1300GT does and I might be interested. Frankly I see very little point in a superbike electric as they are natural opposites, electric implies efficiency but the riding behavior associated with superbikes is anything but

I saw another electric motorcycle on Thursday that blew my mind as it was the first time I&#x27;d seen one in the flesh and on the street, the Saietta: <a href="http://www.agilitymotors.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.agilitymotors.com&#x2F;</a><p>Loved the design of it, somewhere between Tron and Portal.<p>The only thing that gets me is the range... 120 miles. That seems to be similar to the Mission motorcycle too. Good for the city, but hard for long rides (and both the speed and performance encourage you to enjoy leaving the city).

Good looking design, but a superbike that doesn&#x27;t make any noise? That&#x27;s a dangerous game. The noise it&#x27;s part of it&#x27;s presence and dare I say it, safety.

As a keen rider (S1000-RR) I would love this. I mostly commute on mine and in the hot Toronto summers the heat is what kills you. I&#x27;m pretty sure this thing would run way cooler.

Range on the cheapest model is comparable to my Suzuki SV650, would be great for commuting eg you can charge every night. Plugging in at night would be much better than having to waste 15 mins at the service station every 3 days. Probably not going to ride it to the mountains and back on a long ride, though. Still - very cool! Can&#x27;t wait for battery tech to get better&#x2F;cheaper.

I&#x27;ve been waiting for someone to step up and become the Tesla of motorcycles: ie, hell with the costs, we&#x27;re just going to make the greatest bike possible. Very cool to see it.<p>That dash is both awesome and scary as hell. Stravassholes on bicycles are annoying; I can&#x27;t imagine one on a motorcycle with 120 ft-lbs of torque.

This sounds really cool. But, personally, is it possible to design a &quot;neat appearance&quot; and more &quot;future&quot;? It seems no difference to other motorbikes in market. As a Superbike, it must be distinctive.

Give me that dash on my Duc! - they also mention a HUD, scant on detail though. Pricey but they are using some of the best brakes, forks and suspension the market has to offer, best of luck to these guys.

Just wondering whether there is any REGULAR electric bike (100cc-200cc engine) - that would be an instant HIT in the developing countries like India and China ....

If you like that one, then you should have a look at this one too. The Lightning electric bike won the Pikes Peak race this year, including the gas powered bikes . 218 mph top speed. <a href="http://www.lightningmotorcycle.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lightningmotorcycle.com&#x2F;</a>

I have a 3kW electric scooter, which can and does hit 45 mph &#x2F; 75 kph on the flats.<p>I&#x27;m trying to picture having 40 times the torque, and just failing. What an incredible world.

good price, gas bikes usually start off at that price and end up a quarter of that price second hand within 3 years.

Live fast, die young, leave a nice planet.
