Thanks for the info. Did you double check the Driving Range (K-34) formula to verify that it is still correct after the changes you have made? If so, I would still be very happy with 48.48 mile driving range at a cruising speed of 55mph. My goal is 300MPGe so if I end up getting 48.48 and add a full fairing to lower my cd down to .35 that still puts me at 67.94 miles and 325.21 MPGe.

I will be using LED's for all lighting other than the headlight, which will help the Wh/m usage, but I think most of the electrical power needed is going to be from the mechanical power required to drive the motor. So far, I haven't touched those formulas.
