Most of them that say that to me are superhuman athletes.

There's no ebike with a hundred mile range, and these guys are doing 24 hour races and cross country tours. So after a short while it just becomes a lead weight in the frame.

There are quite a few ebikes with 100+ mile range, you only need maybe 1500-2000Wh to do 100 miles.

Could get longer ranges like that with a battery pack that can be disconnected and swapped, or connect multiple on the bike and switch the cable over when one is low.

Actually seen an electric motorcycle built like that, it can carry 2 batteries if you want a second one but it uses most of your internal storage space.
