So the 375 Wh pack gets 40 miles range at 20 mph with light pedaling. That is testament to just how inefficient upright bikes are. I was getting roughly the same economy at 35 mph when the shell was still on my corovelo.

Do an e-trike! You won't regret it. You can get surprisingly great range for not much money in batteries.
