Public Charging Stations
There are more public charging stations coming online
every day and there may be some in your area. You can
charge from a Level 1 public charging station with your
supplied charge cord or from a Level 2 charging station
with the optional J1772 Zero Motorcycle accessory. These
stations are often available at a variety of locations
including shopping centers, city parking lots, airports,
hotels, government offices, and other businesses. We
recommend that you search the internet for locations in
your area. For example, search for “charging stations.”
Note: Use of a Level 2 charging cord doesn’t improve
charge times unless a supplemental accessory charger is
also used.
Maximizing Your Range
Range varies in electric motorcycles similarly to how it
varies in gas motorcycles. However, the big difference
between electric and gas is that energy consumption is
averaged over a shorter distance on an electric
motorcycle. Electric motorcycles are designed for
convenient daily recharges versus less frequent and less
convenient trips to the gas station. As a result, the same
electric motorcycle often yields different ranges from one
full recharge to the next.
How to Predict the Range
To generally predict how an electric motorcycle’s range will
be affected, you can use the four factors:
•
route
•
rider
•
weather
•
motorcycle
By considering each of these factors, you can use
specifications such as ‘city range’ as standards to estimate
what the motorcycle’s real world range will be under your
particular usage case.
