My guess, and it is little more than a guess, is that a windshield adds 12-13% range at 75 mph.  12% of 58 is about 7, so Bill's test might be evidence of a 51 mile range at 75 mph without a windshield (and you've got a pretty significant shield -- less than "touring" but more than "sport").  I mention this only because range figures for the current electric bikes are for the naked stock versions.

Sounds reasonable, Adan.

And I almost always ride naked. (But the bike has a windshield).

I left a comment on the article's web page (without fracking advice!)
