Study on Cruising Range Between Charges of Electric Motorcycle (II)

Measured Cruising Range under Practical Conditions

Abstract

The data of cruising range of electric vehicle are strongly required under the practical conditions. In this paper the effect of the air temperature around a vehicle, the friction coefficient of the test road, the connective ways of batteries, the natural recovery of the voltage of batteries after the vehicle stops by shortage of storage energy in them and number of slopes included in the test road on the cruising range between charges of electric motorcycle are revealed empirically. It is also confirmed that the potential of the cruising range of the tested electric motorcycle is enough to be applied for the newspaper delivery.
