Mission Electric's record-setting motorcycle is dead
Electric motorcycle enthusiasts have been waiting a long time for the Mission RS, and that wait is finally over. Just not in a satisfying way. Mission Electric has announced it has filed for bankruptcy, effectively killing an impressive all-electric super-bike that its been teasing since 2010. The RS set records at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, helped the company secure a spot on the team behind Harley Davidson's Project LiveWire and even caught the attention of Jay Leno -- but none of that brought in the revenue Mission Electric needed to survive. "I have struggled to rescue the business to find a buyer for the assets," co-founder Mark Seeger said during recent court proceedings. "To date, we have not earned any cash / revenue of any kind."
