Those speeds and range from that battery is most impressive !

If money was no object, this is a 7150 € trike:

36 V Q100H - 19 speed pinion on the front and single speed SA freewheel in the back with 48 V battery big enough for 200+ km rides.

Or a Bafang Max drive in the front on a custom welded boom with a Rohloff in the rear wheel...

Or both versions, one for the weekend

So I'd have a Cove Hummer hardtail frame with bbs02

With very expensive front air suspension forks (topend rockshox for example). A nice sus post like the suntour or thudbuster

A b17 Brooks saddle

On one Mary bars

Hydro disc brakes . Shimano or avid upper end

Rohlhoff hub gears

Lekkie bling ring

Best /smallest battery for most Ah that Jimmy at insat can design when I throw money at him!

You don't get both at the same time!

It cruises on the flat at about 20 mph with 250w from the battery when you pedal medium. That would give 40 miles from a 500wh battery, but mine's actually 400wH (measured), so would do 32 miles. If it's hilly, that goes down to about 25 miles. Level 1 is 60w, so it'll go for 6 hours and 40 minutes. That's without free-wheeling, so you can say about 7.5 hours journey time at an average of 14 mph, which is 105 miles. To get 129 miles, I turned the power off sometimes when it was easy to pedal.

The power is fixed levels, so it's easy to calculate or estimate the range on any level. The display shows the watts and you can see that they don't change much until you select a different level.

Ahh, makes more sense

Wow, worth more than my car

Does your car have titanium leaf springs and a 19 speed gearbox? I bet it would cost a lot more if it did.

On the same note a guy in Brittany designed and built a 10 kg wood velomobile body with so-so aerodynamics for his trike and measured a 30% increase in speed. If you continue to ride at the same speed as without that would also translate to about 30% more range.
