Lol.. You wish!
It's not so linear...

Anyways, from my experience it's generally like this...

24v = 15-18mph average top speed
36v = 21-23mph average top speed
48v = 28-30mph average top speed
(Wind and weight is why there are variable speeds and distances above and below)
10Ah = 13-15 miles Max
15Ah = 19-22 miles Max
20Ah = 26-30 miles Max

Here in the USA, I can get a 36v 250w kit and 36v 20Ah battery for $700usd, which will let me cruise (no pedaling) at 20mph for 21 miles.

If you go real crazy (like me) you can also go with a dual motor/battery setup.
Two 36v 20Ah Batts with two 36v 250w motors gets me 80-85 miles or so at 20-21mph.
