I was getting 25 miles out of about a kWh on my Organic Transit ELF, which
back up your estimate. That is 40kW/mile. It has bodywork, and weighs
about 450lb with my in it and a bit of gear. TOp speed was an average of 24
mph for an hour - that is working hard at the pedals. If I would slack off

Much depends on what you m
It is primarily about speed and drag coefficient - not that it is a
motorcycle or a car. An unfaired motorcycle is in the same neighborhood of
drag as a blocky car. I had a BMW R75/5 and it got maybe 45mpg, maybe 50
mpg. Considering the difference in weight, rolling resistance, the car is
pretty
The 98% efficient CSIRO solar vehicle motor is a bit expensive like 10k
dollars. What is a good compromise today for a brush less motor that is
affordable and powerful enough to allow a 500 to 1000 pound vehicle to keep up
with traffic. I need to get under 100 wh per mile. I've heard of some
