Green Motorcycle Breaks World Speed Record
Who says you have to trade speed to go green? Mission Motors, a software company of all things, may help push the green movement forward by pushing its new electric motorcycle to the 150 mph mark, a new world record for an electric motorcycle. The record was clocked at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a prototype of an electric motorcycle the company plans to sell in the near future. Sales for a limited number of the nearly $70k e-bike may start as early as next summer, but the master plan for the company is to license electric power systems for all types of machines.
Apparently Mission uses the best lithium-ion batteries the market and has with a proprietary cooling and management technology. Mission is currently raising funding and working on agreements with a Chinese OEM manufacturer in hopes of merging its battery technology with low-cost bikes. We’d like to see the whole deal be American made, but the Chinese do continue to dominated the electric bike and scooter market. As long as a peppy machine such as this gets more people interested in cleaner, greener vehicles… it should be good thing.
