Plugshare now shows electric motorcycles.

For those of you who use the Plugshare app they now list both Zero and Brammo models of electric motorcycle so you no longer have to list your EV as an "other".

I just received an email from "EV Range Calculator" who offered to add electric motorcycles in a near future update.

If provided with:

- weight
- drag coefficient / drag area
- battery capacity


Weight and capacity are easily found on websites - anyone have drag coefficients?

It will be hard to find a real drag coefficient because it belongs much to your size, shape sitting position , clothes, Helmet ...

But you can make some test runs and measure your used power - maybe the Zero App is cool for that - and calculate back your own coefficient with different positions.
Than you can tailor the "EV Range Calculator" perfect for your need.
