This Mission One motorbike could not be any cooler, and would be especially enticing not only for the Greenie Man that ‘has it all’ yet for basically any man, really, I’m sure.

Just looking at the sleek design, you know it’s a luxury motorbike. Manufactured by Mission Motors, a San Francisco-based company, the bike reaches an impressive 150mph, and is in fact, an electric motorbike; powered by lithium-ion batteries, the same batteries that power mobile phones and laptops.

Creator and CEO of Mission Motors, Forrest North, says that he simply combined his passion for motobikes with his passion for innovation. “With the Mission One, we’re writing the next chapter in motorcycle design, delivering a new riding experience without sacrificing performance or design in a zero emissions vehicle.”

The bike is available for order in the UK and US. Price is estimated at around £92,000 – the first 50 limited editions, however, will be around £47,100
