Your google-mojo is weak this morning. Took me about 30 seconds of
searching.

It's a Zero DSR/X, https://zeromotorcycles.com/en-gb/model/zero-dsrx

That's a decent range.
Just need a long lunch break :-)

I was going to point out that the American SAE EV range calculation is
wildly optimistic, but they refer to the EU one. Given the battery
capacity and comparing to what my bike used to manage, probably not that
far off reality.

I didn't bother searching - just asked here and on Bluesky

replied on Bluesky too
