looking at their catalog is interesting, they have different sized motors available for faster acceleration and top speed, but for a given speed (45mph) the range is pretty much identical.

Of course more current means more losses, so the larger motor would see less range if the extra capacity is being used, and it would get used since it is there, but they *could* all be driven identically and have the same range.
