New model Electric bike has 141HP - 160mph
Mission Motors, claim that their new model "Mission-R" has;
141 horsepower and 115 foot-pounds of torque, with an alleged top speed of 160 mph. That may not be enough to win the MotoGP, but it'll definitely leave Ducati's street-legal bikes in the dust. On top of it all, the Mission-R's 14KwH battery should give it a range of 150 miles from a full charge
141 HP
115 Foot Pounds Torque
160mph
150mile range.
Pretty good specs there  be nice to see under what conditions (ave speeds etc), they used for the 150mile range.
Only thing i couldn't work out, was how quickly it could pull off from a dead stop.
Guess the only thing not mentioned is $
The 'old' model has plenty of clips on YT from 2009.

If you're comparing it to other superbikes, I'm not sure that 141HP in a bike that weighs 545 pounds will be leaving a Duc, or any other street legal superbike for that matter, in the dust - only one way to find out though.

They covered that bike in the latest Sport Rider mag I have. Because of the way an electric motor delivers almost its full torque from pretty much zero rpms up, they claimed from their test riding that off the line it would leave anything with a spark plug  They loved the power delivery. But it costs $68,995

Just don't go 150 miles in one direction 'cause you'll be walking home or sitting around for quite awhile.

Yeah, not practical yet. Personally I think they're shit, no sound, no personality. Not the future of motorcycling I'm into.

If you think about it, $70K isn't that bad - really!
Considering no more gas, oil, pistons, valves, air/oil filters and so on.
I know that the 'energy' has to come from somewhere.
In the near future, more solar panels will be on everyones roofs and you just recharge it!
Zixxer14, you do more than 70miles to work each day - one way?
99% of people do less than 70miles to work each day - there and back.
Not sure how much a battery pack weighs, but if you bought a second pack, you would get twice the milage (taking into account the added battery weight etc).
No sound? How about a that super feeezzz sound  I heard that in Japan they have car speaker sounds on the Prius's so that people can actually hear the car!
