You may not know it but I do appreciate your replies as always, every bit helps and I will absorb it and just make a decision at the end whether it's a bad one or could be a good one.

I do understand I would never keep up with a emoto by having a ebike. They will beat me in any which way I build my ebike. I still don't know the durability of my build yet as the most I ever went was just 20 miles on a group ride. In this 20miles I actually did well, with PAS and riding with a slower crowd, I still had 80% at the 10miles mark. There was a charging station so I only used 20% back as well, this is with my lousy 8ah. With the new 21ah plus 8ah, i'm estimating 50 miles with no PAS, with PAS much more. Riding with sur ron guys their capacity is 30-40ah and at 72v, so not expecting to keep up, but distance wise i should be able to get to those same places at a slower ride.
