I have an electric car. The battery size is 16Kwh (weighs almost a
ton)and is far bigger than any bike. This will take me about 80 miles.
So a bike is likely to have around a quarter of this (let's say). So a
bike is likely to need say 4 Kwh per charge.


There is a big difference in energy needed between pootling around at 20
mph and racing.

Unless you thing an F1 petrol car gives better MPG than a Mini, because
it's lighter.
