Terry Hershner wins Craig Vetter's fuel economy challenge with a Zero streamlined by Craig,

172 miles, Terry consumed $2.29 in energy and road taxes at fair market value for 1.3¢ per mile cost. And all this at real world posted speeds of up to 80mph.
Streamlining is important.
The weird one is the seat height. Craig and Alan in particular seem curiously unprepared to even consider sitting lower with feet more forward.
Is anyone in UK developing bike technology? I've been impressed by the Zero-bike, but it would be nice to think that UK could take them on?
What sort of bike technology? Batteries are nothing special, they need to be hanging them in a chassis that can use them, and not just regurgitate some rehash of the dreadful motorised bicycle.

The issue I have with electic bikes - is where does the CofG end up?
As an ex-Gold Wing rider I now all about heavy bikes and what happens with the CofG out of the vertical!
