It was a great event, it was nice to see all the bikes, err too many Zeros. There were like 40 bikes on the track so lots of traffic. The dude who had the Mission R was my neighbor man that is a sweet bike. First electric motorcycle with a single sided swing arm. Also Chris from Energica won the production class TT with the Ego. It would have been nice to see what the Mission R could do but he needed to jet after the 2nd session.
The Empulse did pretty good on the track. It totally riding it at race speeds you pretty much ride it like a normal motorcycle. I never appreciated those awesome brembo brakes and the suspension on the Empulse than I did that day. I rarely use the brakes on the street but on the track its awesome. The suspsension was very good. I noticed I can catch a lot of the Zero bikes on the corners but I didn't have enough power to pass them on the straight so I'd make a lot of passes around the turns.
I'll post of pics later I'll probably do a quick VLOG for the day since it was a 1 day dealie. What a bargain though $99 trackday with Speedventure and got to hang you and oogle lots of electric vehicles. We definitely didn't bust any sound limits!
It was kind of frustrating looking for a place to charge. Lessons learned take your Level 1 charger with you if you can't find Level 2 power just charge at Level 1 there were plenty of 120V outlets out there. I think you'd be able to get a significant amount of charge at Level 1 because the time between sessions was a while. I wound up burning through 25% SOC every track session. The dude on the Mission R said he burned through more than half! Of course he has almost triple the power of the Empulse though. They should totally record how many kilowatts of electricity we used for the event haha!
