It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Take a look at Pedago' s Ridge Rider
I own this bike, and i have not regretted the purchase at all. Its range is pretty decent, 55mi I think. The bike has a software speed limiter which prevents the motor assist above 20 or 25mph depending on the model you get; but there is a community of folks that have some hacks around it (though I haven't done this myself).
One of they key defining features of this bike is the throttle control; you can have pedal assist turned on and then also use the throttle on the handlebar to have the motor do all the work.
Awesome bike! I have an E-mountain bike and really enjoy it. For this application, I'm not sure if the mountain bike design will give me enough efficiency to hit the range I need. Maybe with narrower street tires and mostly locking out the suspension, but that removes most of the mountain bike advantages IMO.
