When I was fit I could maintain that speed average for 3 hours on end. So, yes.
I can no longer sit on a racing bike saddle without agony so those days are over.

The Elf has better aero than a unfaired bicyclist but a larger frontal surface so I think it more or less evens out. Add electric support then maintaining 20 mph should be at leisure.
