Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Cool. The 130 figure was from a place called Phoenix Motors, and I wanted to get some real world input on this. Can anyone fill me oin on the necessary equations to compute the potential miles, though? If I'm going to drop a couple thousand or more on an extremely high aH rated battery pack, I'd like to be able to confirm their numbers. I've also decided on the Electro E-4 middrive kit.
I'll also be building up a smaller system for my touring bike to assist me, by the way on a 700c hub motor. The trike is for my wife, and since I've developed cardiac issues, this may be the only way we can continue touring, etc. It'll be mainly to assist me on hills as a force multiplier so I can keep my HR down. I have Atrial Fibrillation issues and arrhythmia.
