Fort Lee man helped create $60K bike, but lost his job in November after allegedly threatening a company executive.

Fort Lee’s Vincent Ip helped create the $60,000 electric motorcycle at the helm of one San Francisco company’s product line, now he’s locked in a legal battle to keep his shares of the company.

Ip, who was fired from Mission Motorcycles in November after allegedly threatening an executive, signed a stock restriction agreement stating that if he left the company then it had the right to buy back his shares, according to a report on northjersey.com.

But Ip claims he’s not bound by the agreement, which also covers two other Mission execs, and the company wants the courts to force him to obey.
