Well done!
however, my question is: how did you achieve 160 mph while the Ego is limited to 150mph and what does the speedo display as top speed?
speedo reads off motor RPM, all our runs were done with taller than stock gearing since we kept our smaller than stock 38T on the back, and ran 16-17-18T fronts. Dash showed high 130s low 140s. We were so excited to see the real numbers at the timing tent.
the 10% drain was a little less than we expected, it was about a 4.5 mile "lap" (run-coast down-timing tent-back to pit area-back to starting line). We didn't seem to be getting regen on the coastdown, prob related to it just spending 23 seconds dumping full power and not being ready to take the energy back right away.
At 70% SOC we didn't seem to lose any performance. Should have checked it all the way down, but we think the loss would be minimal down to like 15-20% SOC.
What a fun weekend otherwise, we had Motorcycle Missions and a bunch of US veterans as our pit crew helping out. They were awesome, and fun to hang out with.

Racing an electric has to be the easiest racing we've ever done. No fuel, no tuning, no warm up, no overheating, no leaks, no spills, no mess. We just plugged it in at night. Twist to full throttle and hang on. No shifting, no clutch.
The Moto-E bikes are going a little bit faster top speed with the same motor, controller, but a different battery.
We wish we'd gotten more runs, but the first two days so many ICE cars/bikes blew up or caught on fire causing long delays for track cleanup.
