Any other Zero riders?

On the model and setup I got, Zero claims anywhere between 110-240km, depending on traffic conditions (higher speed with limited/no braking = lower range). I'm gonna post stats after I've had it a while to see how realistic that is, but from all the reading I did they seem to be pretty accurate.

Please keep us updated on the range ... 110-240km is pretty broad estimate.

Hat range is probably going to stay broad because it's all based on riding. If you're on the highway the range drops significantly. I noticed a big difference between my ride back from Mitchell versus my commute yesterday.

If electrics were allowed to ride bicycle paths and environmental sensitive areas :I bet we would all want one.

I've noticed motorcyclists use bicycle lanes (and coned off construction zones) several times this week already, so I think some riders are already getting some practice.

its been so tempting at simcoe (from bremner) in the morning.
 
Are they putting reverse in these? It wouldn't be used often, but it should be so trivially easy to add (a button and a tiny bit of programming), why not?

The estimate is broad, because the kWh consumption has a broad range in this application .... function of speed, vehicle drag, total weight, ambient temperature, etc. .... it's really very different than ICE vehicles (not necessarily the factors involved, but rather the degree of impact on the consumption). Much more sensitive. Once you figure out the basics it's pretty simple, but not so in the beginning, and especially not so in a forum thread like this one (no offence meant of course).

You could probably work out a formula where the ideal summer conditions of mixed usage would yield 1km = 100 Wh ... and from there it could get just worse by 30% the more highway you use and another 30% the colder it gets ... just an example, in case you want to be technical.
