Today Mission Motors is an electric vehicle components designer and manufacturer. Their early days the goal was to develop the Tesla of Electric Motorcycles. An ambitious goal, which ultimately they turned away from to focus on a market that's turning out to be more lucrative. They still build some top end electric motorcycles which they say are used for testing, but who knows, maybe one day they'll go to manufacturing.
