SAE J3007 MAY2026 Top Speed Test Procedure for Electric Motorcycles

SAE J3007 MAY2026 establishes a standardized, track-based test procedure for determining the representative top speed of electric motorcycles operating on level paved roads with fully charged batteries.

The recommended practice specifies test facilities, atmospheric conditions, speed-measurement accuracy, vehicle preparation, operator requirements, test execution, data recording, and reporting methods. It includes air-density and wind-speed correction methods to normalize measured speed results across different environmental conditions.

Application Scope: Intended for manufacturers, test laboratories, engineers, and regulatory professionals conducting or evaluating top-speed testing for on-highway electric motorcycles.
