MISSION ONE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES FROM MISSION MOTORS
Here's The Mission One from Mission Motors an electric motorcycle based in California, which just recently admitted that its first product. The Mission One will be delayed until the second quarter of 2011. The company had originally planned to have its electric motorcycle ready by the end of 2010.
Says interim-CEO Jit Bhattacharya:
[Mission Motors'] target originally to deliver the Mission One was to deliver it by the end of this year [2010]. But when we first set out on that endeavor, we never saw 2009 coming. The recession created new hurdles for every company out there big and small, created new challenges for us, and while we're getting past that, and we've continued the development process, it did affect the development schedule. So we're now looking to deliver the first Mission One's in the second quarter of 2011 instead of the end of this year.
