Then the sunny Sunday come along and you want to take a 300 mile cruise. Oops!

I agree the range is an issue.

Perhaps, the issue.

I would I change the styling so that it looks less like a sports bike and instead looks like something for doing errands on the weekend or slepping back and forth to work. A rack for a briefcase, a windscreen maybe panniers to allow you to carry a bit.

Bicycle commuters have very different looking bikes than racer guys. I would think motorcycle riders might have the same vibe. My Triathlon bike weighs 17 pounds with 23-millimeter tires, the errand bicycle weighs 32 pounds, including racks, fenders and such, with heavier wheels that mount 40-millimeter tires. It also has a much more upright riding position and lower gearing. Different machines for different things. One is for going 27 mph the other for 17 mph.
