EV Motorcycle Build (in my head)
So I have looked into building an electric motorcycle for getting around town, and back and forth from work. I don't have the funds yet, but I am still in the planning stages so that isn't and issue, but I think I ran into some issues. I have been running the numbers for a while and after looking at some other EVs it seems I may have my numbers off... According to my math this electric motorcycle I have thought out should be able to achieve 357.04mpg at a cruising speed of 55mph. Something must be wrong here though because I haven't seen any other home-made EV motorcycles get numbers these high and I hardly know jack about EVs... Even crazier is that I want to fully enclose this motorcycle to get as close to about .35cd as possible, which (according to my math) bumps the mpg up to 492.42.
I have attached the file of the entire build.
Can somebody tell me where I went wrong?
