It's pretty much all the motor, in my opinion, though you also have to make sure the motor is properly attached to the bike. An inefficient riding position taxes your stamina. The most important thing, I think, is that you are comfortable on the bike hour after hour. It's not a big deal if your average speed drops as the day progresses, as long as it doesn't drop to zero.
