Here's an article on a swedish R4 site about that:

Unfortunately only in swedish. The tecnical facts says (in swenglish):
Based on an R4 -76
8 batteries, serialled and parallelled to make it a total of 7.2 kWh.
6 kW DC engine, mounted directly on the gear box (so i guess he's only using one gear).
1.4kWh per 10 km.
Cruising speed: 55-60 km/h.

He also notes that the R4 is perfect for the job, because of its low weight and absence of brake/steering servos, etc.
