Thanks a lot ! You're confirming the initial assumptions I made were spot on I probably did not add much safety margin so I'll follow your advice FYI electricity cost here is 0.19€ per kWh but our gas cost is roughly 11$ per gallon ! So electric makes a lot of sense for me compared to car (different compared to a combustion bike as mileage is higher)

Now i just need to finalize building my case at work, align with HR any in incetives and work with building services to get a plug and always get charged, avoiding completel discharging my batteries

You guys are great support, thanks again. I'll keep you posted on the progress

this could be useful if I had the bike already... but I'm building the case first as it makes no sense for me to buy if my employer doesn't provide me charging facility, I'm too far out from the range back and forth
So I'm trying to illustrate to them how much this could cost them and then buying it most probably within a month's time

Hi First of all, this is my first message, just joined the forum as I'm looking into investing into electric motorcycle. The project is bigger than simply that, I'm trying to even get support from my company, not to pay for the bike but to at least be able to charge it during my working hours to guarantee I have enough "juice" to come back home !
My ride is about 25miles so not too long and normally feasible on one charge, but I might not take the risk, especially at first !
I'm also building the case, we're ~1700 on the site and I would be the first one to go full electric to my knowledge (I'm in Europe), so this would be a nice effort to go sustainable and green as biking is not easily feasible due to the distance, and traffic jams in a car is too much of a hassle - the e-motorbike represent the best solution I can see so far.

So my question is simple, how do we calculate the cost of recharging a motorcycle ?
Choice of motorcycles in Europe is highly limited... I can potentially find zero or GPR-s, Brammo replied they would have some available end of this year and all models later in 2012, this is too late for me.  Right now, leaning towards the GPR-s with a good offer on a 72v 50A engine... So 3.6kW battery.

Any help and guidance would be great I tried to search on the forum, not found anything, but this is easy to miss I guess. Don't hesitate to point me to an existing post if you know it.
