I rode this bike several years ago, 2002 maybe, at the Tour de Sol.  Just around the parking lot.  Lots and lots of batteries at 1200 pounds.  Maybe 600 pounds of batteries.  That's where the range comes in.  Had a 4 speed transmission I believe.  Like a motorcycle version of the long range 'Red Beastie'

I couldnt find the ah of the battery, but the EV album says "10 trojans for 120v."
So just how big are those anyway? I run 40 ah hawkers, with the etek. Granted i have lots less voltage, but consider my route to work. 3 miles @ 55 and 7 miles at 25 or 30 stop and go. It takes 50% to make it there. My hiway ride is 55 mph @ 90 amps (more if the wind is out.) My bike tips the scale at 400 plus me. His is 1200 plus the rider. Does high voltage really make that much difference?  I would consider rebuilding the bike this winter and putting in more batts!
Dont get me wrong his bike is AWESOME! I suppose that i have a little EnVy!

I don't know Paul, take a look at how many amp hours it carries.  I bet 60 miles is realistic.

60miles @ 55mph? seems a little bit too nice for a heavy bike, but would love to know the real info on it,  to improve my interceptor.
