30 miles pulling the #BikeLaneSweeper up 1570ft of hills on one eBike battery (48V 620Wh, which reads 45.4V at the end.) Only 23.2 miles sweeping before that battery died (3hrs running though, newer models will have a bigger battery.)

Barbur to Multnomah and back via the freeway ramp, Terwilliger to downtown, Barbur to Hamilton & back, Naito, Burnside bridge eastbound, a bit of Sandy, Belmont from 7th to 20th, Morrison, 12th, Multnomah, 7th, Broadway, Williams, Pedalpalooza kickoff, Vancouver

1.5hr #pdxBikes #BikeLaneSweeper 11.7mi +679ft Barbur from Terwilliger, Multnomah, Capitol south to Barbur to Terwilliger to Nebraska and back. Suburban #Portland drivers need to slow down and quit breaking the asphalt since they aren't going to pay to maintain it. This Capitol Hwy segment was just finished not even two years ago and it's already crumbling! $27M/mile 💸 #transportation #BikeTooter bikeportland.org/2023/05/05/th

1.5hr #BikeLaneSweeper 10.6mi +806ft Terwilliger Parkway, a little bit of Cap Hwy, inner Barbur, Chestnut. #pdxBikes

I'm trying to go faster on spots with lighter debris, 14-15mph is where the brush starts to miss some ground. Maybe some scoop/fin things on the front and underside would help deflect more to the side, and we've got a new sweeper on the way with the brush at an angle.
