Range seems to be around 75 watt hours per mile up to 150 watt hours per mile, depending on speed, Amps X Volts = Watts, Amp hours X Volts = Watt Hours, so look at the size of battery you are looking to use and you can figure out what your range might be, remember that with lead acid you want to discharge only half way, you can get away with 80% discharge but it will shorten the battery life.
Any idea what the specs on the motor you have are? are you planing to run it at 24v? personally I wouldn't bother with a motorcycle that is less then 48v as it will draw to many amps for most controllers, or only give you low speeds.
