What kind of bike can do over 100 miles?
- Thread starter Artstu
- Start date
Maybe this one?

I have the same E8000 drive and 500 Wh battery on a 23kg aluminium frame and can get 100km (62miles) using eco with a fair bit of effort on my part riding mostly on flattish coastal paths
The BMC Alpenchallenge has the same drive and battery but with a light weight carbon frame, so it may go close to achieving 160km (100miles), as the E8000 drive is easy to pedal over the 25km/hr limiter

No chance, whatever it is it certainly isn't a pedelec as we know them. 29 mph up a 9% hill !
Motor bike, or moped or is there an app out there that can fiddle Strava?
Mine...Marin Muirwoods hybrid with 32Ah of 52V batteries and a BBSHD

I have just clocked 85ish miles on my Airnimal retro fitted with a 2 speed XD rear hub and a 36v 17.4Ah battery. I pedal a fair bit and rarely go above level 3 (out of 5) and this has included many 100 m of climb. I'm dead chuffed with it. My average speed is only about 12mph though. Any faster than 19mph and my legs can't keep up so I take a rest and freewheel.
I once went out on my bike with Strava running on my phone. When I got home I forgot to turn it off and it ended up recording a few KOM after I got in the car and did a journey. I left it on the APP for comedy value but it pretty quickly got deleted after a load of "serious" roadies got the hump and flagged it to Strava (and sent me some arsey messages at the same time).
