:PIWYR: Electrifying Motorcycles A Tesla refugee is building an all-electric superbike. Can it be a business, too? Hogs roar. Ninjas scream. The Mission One just flies. Posted Image Posted Image A fledgling San Francisco company called Mission Motors unveiled an all-electric motorcycle Wednesday at the TED conference in Long Beach, Calif. Called Mission One and designed by hotshot Yves Behar and his firm, fuseproject, the bike is both beautiful and fast. At a top speed of 150 miles per hour, it would be the fastest production electric vehicle of any type. If, that is, it gets to production. Posted Image Mission Motors was founded in 2007 by a bunch of smart Silicon Valley types with the hope that they can take on heavy industry and change it. If this sounds familiar, it's because this has been the mission of Tesla Motors, the electric car maker founded by PayPal founder Elon Musk. Tesla has found the road bumpy. It has struggled to turn a technically cool idea into a business: Its management has been in disarray. The car launch was delayed several times. Tesla also recently laid off 20% of its workforce and raised more money. Mission Motors' founder, Forrest North, understands these problems in detail: He started Mission a few months after leaving Tesla, where he helped engineer battery packs. But North is not at all daunted. North says that because motorcycles are far more simple than automobiles, Mission Motors won't get bogged down like Tesla has. Its staff will stay small and nimble: It has a staff of about 12 right now. His engineers' "to do" list will also be shorter than the one at Tesla, North insists, as manufacturing bikes doesn't involve as extensive assembly lines as the auto industry. Bikes are less complex than cars and made in smaller volumes. Posted Image ELECTRIC in the Archive. Edited by obxbiker, Friday, 6. February 2009, 03:39.

| :OLD: Larry there might be a market for pipes that make motor noise for those. Then people might like them better and feel more natural on them. Like maybe small mp3 players in the pipe. |

Mission One's Jeremy Cleland talks to Gizmag from the Isle of Man TTX electric motorcycle race Entrants in the TTX Electric Superbike GP have laid some of their cards on the table at the Isle of Man - but according to Mission One's Jeremy Cleland, the first TTX practice session was all about safely making it around the track and recording battery capacity data - race pace, he says, will be significantly faster. We spoke to Cleland just before the second TTX practice session at the historic Isle of Man TT circuit - hear his thoughts on the Mission One bike, the TTX races, the future of electric racebikes and the challenges of racing in this new category in our exclusive audio interview after the jump.

In our audio interview he discusses: Setting up and adjusting an electric racebike The balance of speed and battery conservation that dominates setup and race practice The Alpinestars datalogging system mounted in rider Tom Montano's leathers The Mission One racebike's adjustable regenerative braking system How the electric bikes are being accepted at the Isle Of Man event The historic nature - and exciting future - of electric roadracing, including shorter circuit racing Team AGNI's impressive showing in practice session 1 Progress on the Mission One roadbike Click below to play (16:20) Posted Image MORE INFO: :READING: [google] Mission One[/google] [yahoo] Mission One[/yahoo] [youtube] Mission One[/youtube] [piwyr] Mission One[/piwyr] |
