First of all, thanks to all who have shared on this forum....I have learned most all I know about my new HD Livewire (note the original designation!! ha ha, I gotta get something for my money, right). It is my intention to contribute when I can. Im throwing his out to the veteran LW riders for opinions.
Commuting 42 miles each way to work.
Average speed just under 60 mph.
Consistently have 60% battery and anywhere from 58-63 miles range estimate remaining when arriving either way to and from work.
In a "perfect world" where one could simply do the math and expect that I should be able to complete the round trip with 20% battery and at least 16 miles remaining.
I have yet to try it....
Would obviously love to let my employer pay for my charging every day....
ANY STRONG OPINIONS ON WHETHER THIS IS COMFORTABLY WITHIN RANGE (84 MILES AT AVERAGE OF 60MPH WITH 30 MILES AT 75+MPH)
ALSO, AN AFTERTHOUGHT AS I WRITE THIS.....SHOULD 9 HOURS GET ME FROM 15-20% TO 100%?
AND, WOULD IT BE BETTER ON THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM TO CHARGE FROM 60% TO FULL TWICE A DAY, VERSUS ONCE DAY FOR MUCH LONGER...
I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY OPINIONS, THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES.....1 MONTH AND 1000 MILES IN AND LOVIN IT!! HAPPY TRAILS!!!
