My recollection is that Electric Terry once traveled over 1000 miles in 24 hours on his highly-modified 2012 Zero, thereby receiving an Iron Butt award.

I doubt it as that would require a 42 (41.6666) mph average over those 24 hours.

I think it had a 26 kWh battery and was a Vetter setup.  I also think he charged it often so not a 1000 miles on a charge.

I stand (sit) corrected.....

I like how he put a radical fairing on the bike, added batteries, has crazy fast charger, picks strategy of riding as fast as possible, but did basically no research on keeping human being awake and alert for 24 hours.

Hello, the military (as well as a bunch of other people, industries, and academics) have studied this subject to death and you can get adrafinil with no prescription which turns into modifinil and keeps you awake and alert. Not to mention all the other routes for that. We live in the future, make sure to try the drugs.

I attach a file where I try to give some answers to the question.
Data come from different users, but they are consistent.

In principle, if you are able to ride at a constant speed and collect the power, you could get the data for your bike.

To get the power, you can use for instance the "Zero Voltage" Android application, or the "Metrics for Zero Motorcycles" Android application. If you try, you will see that it is not easy to maintain constant and stable conditions...
