Will the total ride (roundtrip) be <= 40 miles? ps: @Marty Backe and yes, you were right about the V10F range. While they advertise it for 50-60 miles, I think it barely pushes to 40 miles. @Dzlchef said above that he thinks it'll be under 35-miles, and these are mostly not high-speed miles. So I think you'll be fine with your V10F. And if we are stopping for food then there's an opportunity to top off the battery a little. See you @ 9 Edited August 16, 2019 by Marty Backe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should hit Hooters on the way back west. I'll try to arrange a place for us, assuming around 12ppl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising how many EUC-related expenditures have taken high priority positions in my budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I will most likely be parking on a "No Parking Permit Required" street along/near this address, "8953 W. Dicks St." couple streets North of Santa Monica Blvd cross street N. San Vincent Blvd. We will be there at around 8:30 am and hang out at the group ride starting location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the eastern (griffith) group is meeting at 9a THEN riding an hour to meet up with the west group, which is supposed to meet at 10a. Just want to make sure you didn't confuse the east/west start times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will most likely be eating breakfast some where near to kill some time. Edited August 18, 2019 by Dave U 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm still meeting at Griffith Park. I think @Jermel West and his son will be there, along with @maltocs(and hist son?). Maybe others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dzlchef Posted August 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2019 That was a fun ride, thanks to all that attended! I’m happy that Marty made it back because I was crawling by the time I got home. My range test is complete. I did 54 miles starting at 95%, 83.4V, with an additional 10 min on a 5A charger near the end, down to 1%. So exactly the same range that Marty got on his Nikola. I’m a bit heavier than Marty but we went a lot slower than his test run so it makes sense. Glad everyone made it back safely, can’t wait for the next ride! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
