So, the only real way to measure how good the assistance is for comparing the distance one can get assistance for, is using the assistance at full, I got 30 miles on 1 charge doing that... Or better yet riding the bike only in power/throttle mode and not pedaling... I got 20 miles on 1 charge that way...
Anyways, my point being...

20 miles per charge using electric only is a long ways from 350 miles with a lot of pedaling.
20 miles per charge using electric only, is still a long ways from even 60 miles with normal pedaling.
20 miles per charge using electric only, is acceptable from 30 miles with some pedaling.

That is the way I see it...
