Title: Anyone pick up the remains of the R?

Wishful thinking but I would love to see someone put Zero batteries into the R.

We saw Mission R, restored, and met a couple of the original principals, at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering.

It was very cool.

The TTZero Honda/Mugen apparently got the technology, and ran with it.

I spoke with the owner who was a Mission Motors engineer. They bought it at auction and restored it.

They also ran the bike at Laguna Seca for this year's Refuel EV event.

I have photos of the Mission RS and the Mission One that they had on display, but online I could only find one shot of the Mission One:

It's at the Petersen on the second floor in the current exhibit. In LA. With the Batmobile, the Batcycle, the Delorean from Back To The Future and Herbie The Love Bug. In the same neighborhood as Hollywood Electrics.
