I scan some pages about Euro E-bike touring...many of the hosted and/or planned tours go short daily distances like 50 km. 90 km range seems to be more for experienced cyclists.

I'm not a strong rider but on tours if weather or hills slows planned pace down I have enough steam left to still finish. With E-bikes it seems that one needs to play it safe on planned range.
