Mmmmm,
http://green.autoblog.com/2011/08/18/mission-motors-attracts-9-million-closes-b-investment-round/9 million invested to help grow the company...
now the company made a super lovely motorcycle...but they also decided not to be a motorcycle manufacturer (though I guess the could change)...
but this is really interesting...
http://green.autoblog.com/2010/11/10/missionevt-hybrid-components-appear-in-high-performance-honda-cr/Mission teamed with the Honda Performance Development division to make a faster Honda CRZ hybrid....
So Mission designs a killer EV motorcycle, but has no plans to sell it...Mission also works with Honda on EV components for one of it's hybrid cars.
Could be Honda and Mission next team up to get a Honda EV motorcycle out?
All the more reason Brammo might want to light a fire under Flextronic's behind and get their bikes out...
I like Brammo...a lot....but if Honda had a nice EV motorcycle out, well I would be almost foolish not to buy it...dealers and service and reliability...Honda would jump to the front of the EV motorcycle crowd immediately...kinda like how Nissan, and next Ford, basically put the nail in the coffin of Aptera, Myers, Th!nk, Coda and other start up EV car companies.
