Electric would work for me on most of my daily rides which are usually under 60 miles, but looking at this months log, which has been 22 days riding (out of 22 possible) excluding the 1st 6 days which were on the Mens Fall Trip on the NC 750, of the remaining 16 days, 4 were in excess of 80 miles ( the reliable range of an electric bike) and 12 were under 80 miles.
In July I rode 31 of 31 days. I was on a trip for 2 of those days returning from North Dakota on my CB. Of the remaing 29 days, on 3 of those days I rode in excess of 80 miles. (87, 90 and 102), the other 26 days were less than 80 miles.
So for the majority of my riding, an electric would work, but it would have to be as a second or 3rd bike, with an ICE bike in the garage for longer rides and trips.
