Mission R rebooted and teased

Despite reports of financial difficulties, staff layoffs, and the exit of two of its founders, Mission Motors appears to have rebooted itself as Mission Motorcycles. The firm recently posted a Tweet, accompanied with an image on its site teasing its production-ready Mission R electric superbike.

The name ‘Mission Motorcycles’ however appears to be a separate entity from Mission Motors, with the former continuing the development of electric powertrains whilst the latter seems to have its focus in the two-wheels fraternity. Mission Motorcycles president Mark Seeger reportedly plans to unleash ‘something’ the motorcycling world has not seen before.

More details of the Mission R project are expected to surface on June 1. The street-legal Mission R coming in June will reportedly be honed much further than the bike seen last year. The Mission R electric superbike has the capability to post competition-like lap times in the Laguna Seca circuit at a similar pace to that of petrol-powered AMA Supersports series race bikes.

We will have more on the revolutionary Mission R electric superbike as soon as new details emerge.
