Looks good, I'll have to give it a shot. I'll let you know if I need the paper plans.

Broke 600 miles on my wife's bike/motor. 500 miles on the CST Cyclops tire on the rear, around 300 on the front. Rear tire has lost most of the pattern on the center lugs, but the tread depth is barely changed, should be able to get 2-3k miles out of it easily. Front still has some of the molding flash left on the center of the tread.

Got another watt meter and I've been tracking my wh per mile. With the top speed set at 48km/h (~28.6mph), it was using about 32-34wh/mi when I wasn't stuck behind slow vehicles. With the top speed reduced to 45km/h (~26.9mph) its looking to be about 28-30wh/mi. The reduced top speed looks like it'll give me about 4 more miles of range, provided the battery actually gives me a full 15Ah. It'll be useful to see what effect mods like a fairing have on wh/mi usage.

If I'm doing the conversion right, I'm getting over 1000MPGe.
