Title: Electric touring in the American Motorcyclist magazine
Post by: Richard230 on January 22, 2016, 05:24:07 PM

The February issue of American Motorcyclist, the monthly magazine of the American Motorcycle Association, contains a great 4-page illustrated article, written by Ben Rich (AKA benswing), describing his tour on a 2014 Zero traveling from Washington, D.C. to Mexico, through the U.S., to Canada and back home. He averaged 310 miles per day, with his longest day ride being 475-miles. He spent only $249 on lodging (apparently it is a good idea to have friends all around the country) and $53 for charging fees. If you are a member of the AMA I recommend checking out his article before tossing the magazine into the dumpster.  ;)

Thanks for the heads up, Richard. Do you happen to know if it's available online?

The magazine says that "members" can read both versions (the road and competition versions of the magazine) on line for free at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/magazine (http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/magazine)
