As long as the right OEM picks it up and does a good job this would be sweet!!!

I think that is "wishful thinking". The major motorcycle companies don't like to use someone else's technology. They want to develop their own new technology and not have to license it from any other independent company. Yamaha has tried out different frame and chassis technology from outside sources in the past, but they never stuck with it for very long. Another thing these companies will do (HD is a great one for this) is to buy the company, cherry-pick the patents that they want and then shut the company down (Tri-Hawk and Buel come to mind). I wish Mission Motors luck, but I think their future lies in the EV consulting field, with their motorcycle acting as a technology demonstrator - which is their current business plan, of course.
And speaking of unicorns, what ever happened to the BRP Redshift EV? I haven't heard much about their bikes for a while. ???

They have a website, I think it's-
Www.faster-faster.com (http://Www.faster-faster.com)

They were at Laguna...not showing the bike, but as fans.
Didn't really talk to them, but they hung out a bit at the Brammo tent with Charles (the head of FIM) to get some Pit Passes.
They did say they were rooting for Brammo in the race.

We have known the downside to this discourse for some time though: Mission Motors is no longer in the business of selling motorcycles, and the Mission R is not, and will not, be available for sale (just ask Ryan Reynolds, who was turned down by Mission when he tried to get a Mission R of his very own)
Ok, Brammo...get Ryan Reynolds an Empulse STAT.
easy press.

The Green Lantern rides The Brammo Empulse electric motorcycle....the freaking story basically writes itself...If Brammo doesn't offer him an Empulse today....well I don't know...but I would do it fast before some other company does.

You'd think that if someone was willing to pay that pretty penny....
