So Ideally I need a range of about 20miles to make sure im ok !
If I have done my sums right than I recon I might squeeze it on 48v 10AH but would liek a little bit more for compfort !

Why do you need a 48v battery?
I live in hilly North Cornwall and I have a Cougar Mountain Electric Bike fitted with a LiFePO4 battery.
I get a range of about 20 miles - it's only a LiFePo4 36v 10ah.
I would say a 36v 10ah would do what you want and will be cheaper too.
If you’re interested, this is a link to a thread I ran about upgrading my SLA batteries to a LiFePO4 battery.
