fuseproject Mission is silent but deadly

By Rain Noe - February 5, 2009

"No sound, no shift, no exhaust." That's the motto of Yves Behar and fuseproject's Mission Motorcycle, the fastest bike in its category. Its category, by the way, is 100% electric.

The bike's magic number is 150--that's not only its top speed (in mph), it's also the bike's range. And the electric motor provides something you won't get with a gassy: Instant-on, steady torque for explosive off-the-line launches.

Scary thing is that the bike is totally silent. If I was coming up behind somebody at 120 mph, I'd damn sure want them to know I was there!

The triangular pattern exhaust and the angular nature of the design remind me a lot of the Emblaze Diamond phone New Deal Design did:

Responsibility is the key to ride this thing at 150Mph. Without it its not the sound that's going to save your life.
