90 miles is certainly a greater range than I've seen so far with commercial ebikes. But I could see them being used by touring companies that do fully supported rides since a support vehicle could carry spare battery packs and switch them out as needed. If the range is insufficient for a full day the support crew could swap the battery packs at the lunch stop or other convenient location and then recharge them in time to do another swap at the overnight stop.
