I posted two goals for 2014:
1. Upgrade battery pack (Incomplete)
2. Install Solar Panels (Complete)
1. I didn't have money to purchase an upgraded pack although have seen some really great opportunities developing as used packs salvaged from electric cars are becoming available. I did balance my old pack this summer and got my 50-60 mile range back. I have ridden over 12,000 miles so far, averaging over 350MPGe.
2. I did get the solar panels installed and operational. Here is a picture.
http://www.schultzengineering.us/solarbike.jpg This 1,040 Watt System cost $3,000 to install and is eligible for a 30% tax credit to reduce that cost if desired. The solar panels provide enough power (100 kWh / month) to power my electric motorcycle (81 Wh/Mile from the wall) for 1,200 miles a month.
3. Other stuff I worked on this year:
Schultz Engineering - Delta-11 Electric Motorcycle - Chapter 10
