From the article:

Mission Motors rolled into the International Motorcycle Show with a gorgeous e-moto that looks like something you might see from Ducati. That trellis frame is super sexy, Marchesini wheels always look hot and the specs on this beast are impressive.

“We are excited to announce the Mission R, our compact and powerful factory electric racebike,” founder Edward West said in a statement. “This bike represents the culmination of all the company’s learning in both electric powertrains and motorcycle engineering.”

The liquid-cooled AC induction motor is good for a claimed 141 horsepower and 115 foot-pounds of torque.

That's the correct setup for a race bike. A street bike would have less power and more range.

edit: And charge up on 110vac

edit2: They start with race bikes, to prove a point. Then people will want them for the street.
