Road Test with Version 1

Driving around town every day or so for a couple of weeks now to determine maximum range. The original goal was to use the motorcycle as a daily commuter. Our initial calculations estimated a range between 50 and 70km. I have taken the bike on trips from 4km up to 34km and it appears we should be able to travel at least 54km on a charge. We will try a test drive until the motor controller drops out due to insufficient voltage in the next week. Also a maximum speed trial is set for the next couple of weeks. To date the highest speed we have had the motorcycle up to is 75km per hour.
