So you are in no rush, want to relish the journey, but need the motor to do 25 mph and to make 100 miles a day.
How about ditching the motor, be a real cyclist, find out that you start out your journey with not that many miles per day, but progress and discover that with your 'legs alone' you can do more miles than you ever thought, and find yourself as part of the larger community of cycling tourers, rather than choking these with your noisome motor's fumes as you zip by them at 25 mph?
