Back when I started riding I was doing more than a combined 20k miles a year between bike and car on the road, if I was in a warmer climate it would likely have been almost all bike miles.

It's only 55 miles a day to hit 20k miles a year, I was commuting ~100 miles round-trip 5-6 days a week just for work, not counting anywhere I was going for other reasons.



Also that bike is a solid meh from me. 140 miles between 3.5 hours of charging? So I'd still need a real gas bike if I wanted to go anywhere.

My versys has 26K miles and I took delivery on April 1s 2014. There is no way in hell I could have racked up that many miles if I had to stop for 3.5 hours every 140 miles. Heck, I could barely do a short weekend ride with that range... Eff that; at best it could be a commuter bike, but I think I'd save more money and energy if I sunk those $20K into solar panels and batteries for my home. It's interesting and I'd love an elecric commuter bike that is freeway capable, but not at that price.
