Right now, the motorcycle will go 30 miles on a charge, IF I drive 25 mph.

One client I work for a lot is 28 miles away. I would like to get there and back on a battery charge and a little fuel. Charging while there may/may not be available.

Even if charging were available, my current charger is VERY SLOW, and I am not interested in purchasing a more expensive charger, when there are still too many places I wouldn't be able to plug it in anyways.

If I were able to do 60 or 70 miles in a day (at maybe 35 or 45 mph) as a hybrid, that would be great!
