Depends on the bike, I guess, but even our cheap "Makadam" brand department store E-bike will do a real-world 40km on a factory-rated 313wh battery - about 79 miles per kwh.

100 miles on 1kWh? What are you smoking? I'm pretty sure even an electric bicycle can't do that. Al You would be mistaken. Stella Era did 1,200 miles over two days using a 1,250kwh battery and a 1.25 kw solar panel. That's pretty close. Lawrence Rhodes. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[EVDL] EV Distance Record Smashed
Nothing beats the efficiency of a properly designed solar vehicle that can collect energy anytime the sun shines. With a 12.5 kwh battery, 5 seats. 1.25 kw solar panel .15 coefficient of drag, 45 mph speed and a weight of 850 pounds the last interation of the Stella (practical solar vehicle) solar racer of the Cruiser Class in the World Solar Challenge achieved 1,200 miles on one charge. That's the record in my opinion. solarteameindhoven.nl not a rolling pingpong table.

A bicycle goes about 15 mph. 100 miles / 15 mph takes 6.66 hours. 1 KWH is 150 watts for 6.66 hours. Lots of Ebikes have 200 watt motors. With hard tires and good roads, an Ebike could easily do it. The only challenge is that no normal Ebike has a battery pack that big. But you could easily add a battery that big. Lee -- Engineers like to solve problems.
