E-Bikes just can't go the distance without a recharge. A small gas motorized bicycle could well go over 300 miles with a two gallon can of gas strapped to your back.
But the again...
That's just an Engineering Problem...
Well, it's not just a question of range, or even so much a question of range (you can carry extra batteries). It's a question of speed. If you have a 30 mile daily commute, it's very unlikely you will be willing to do that at 15 or 20 mph every day. That would be a job for a motorcycle (or a car).
