Car died recently. License suspended anyway, and always wanted to get one. Looking in the 1,000 or less range. Any suggestions?

For how long? On an ebike you can push top speed until the battery runs out.

How fast do you need to get there? I already drive 90mph in my van, every day. The bike is for chillin.

You must have a crazy gear ratio. On my downhill bike in top gear with my legs going as fast as they can go i'm at 37-38.

Professional cyclists can hit 80 MPH going down mountains during races.

That'll do. Only gotta travel 6.5 miles to work

The fat tire model is more for sand and gravel roads, you might want one more suited for asphalt, I dunno. But I will never go back to a non-electric bike, for sure. Very fun!

You're going to need a battery on the larger scale for 6.5 miles one way. This is partially why I recommend building it yourself, as the batteries won't be proprietary and you'll likely to be able to get them quickly and cheaply when they eventually start waning (years from now).

I would say whatever mileage they claim, half it. Those are flat surface, no wind and no stops estimates.
