The BH race is derestrictable with the Panasonic drive then 16mph is easy. Cruses at over 20 on flat and holds 16 on gentle slopes. Gets silly on downhill sections.
The earlier model change the rear to 11teeth and front up from 9.
The later one you need to spoof the speed sensor and speed limit turns off for perminant assist.
Flecc should have photo of one way to do this.

Just to give you an idea of range, I cycle 30km every day ~19miles at an average speed of 35km (22mph), mainly flat but with a few long and a few very steep uphill sections. Without pedalling I use just under 500 Watt/hours of battery so make sure you check the pack size is up to it.

If you're going to be pedalling with any effort you're probably looking at a pack size of at least 400w/hrs which would include some margin for windy days etc..
