A Quick Tronbike Operation Cost Analysis

After the video shoot, I rode for 4.8 miles in city traffic to run an errand. During recharge my "Kill-A-Watt" used
up 0.91 KW-Hr. I am paying about $0.12 per KW-Hr from PG&E, so the ride cost me

0.91 * $0.12 = $0.1092 ~ $0.11

or roughly,

$0.11/4.8 mile = $0.023/mile.

The number looks higher than a Tesla, but its tiny compared to my 20mpg Porsche 911:

1 mile/ 20 mpg = 0.05 gallons * $3.60 (premium) = $0.18

and the 50mpg (mostly highway) Hybrid

1 mile / 50 mpg = 0.02 gallons * $3.25 (regular) = $0.065

I would assume the ZX-11's normal engine would be around 35-50 mpg, but only carry a max of 2 passengers :)
