You’ve got a point but for 1000 miles you’re gonna want something more like a proper electric motorbike because you need speed and with the comes harder engineering requirements and desire for amenities you don’t need on a run-around-town ebike
I mean, I am not suggesting the purpose of an 1000 mile range e-bike is to be the best vehicle to carry someone 1000 miles, rather I chose an absurdly high number to suggest an electric bicycle that basically has infinite charge for what you are using it for. True if you are just cruising long distances a more dirt bike/motorcycle construction makes sense, but then you have a heavy ass vehicle you can’t carry over obstacles.
