I want a range of 250-300 miles, roughly the equivalent of a full tank of gas on my VFR with out the HHO booster running. That would mellow out my rides to group rides, as I'd get up in the morning and leave on a full charge, then charge it while eating a leisurely lunch, then ride another full charge worth to get to the meeting point. If I got up early, added breakfast and dinner breaks, then I could easily rack a 900 mile day.
That sort of range would even allow for detours from the route to find a charging station.
Once at the ride, we don't rack up a lot of miles on any day loop, so a full overnight charge at the hotel would probably be enough for 'ride' loops, if not there's always a chance to recharge a bit when we break for lunch. Most loops on these rides are around 300 miles, as that allows for a reasonable lunch break, photo stops and still having enough time to get back before dinner.
