So I understand that HP = Force * velocity.
(from HP = Work / time or HP = Fd/t or HP = F*v)
So I estimated:
V = 65 mph
HP at rear tire is about 10? Just a guess. The throttle is maybe halfway opened.
So you get F = 58 lb. for my Burgie 400.
Does that seem reasonable? That represents air drag plus various friction losses.
