Would an electric moped scooter make it 75 miles without dying?

[Oris] [

I work at the United States Post Office and deliver mail to about 50 mailboxes a day on average. The mail route is about 72 miles a day total. Since I am only a part-time employee at the post office, they don't pay for my gas, thus, I end up spending about $200-$270 a month on it. I was seriously considering buying an electric moped scooter or something of the sort. However, how long can they go for before they need to be charged up again? Would the moped handle going about 72 miles Tuesday - Friday? Also, I deliver in a place with winding roads and two very steep hills, would it be able to go up them?

Answer
72 miles is beyond the range of the electric bikes currently available.

Help me shop for an electric bike/scooter!?

I'm really on the fence about exactly what I want. I live in Berkeley, California, and I really don't know what I want, except that it should go at LEAST 18-20mph, and have at LEAST a 10 mile range per charge. Pedalling combo might be good too, but I'm not sure. Give me as much concise information as you can.

Answer
It depends how much you're willing to spend. I owned one (in fact I'm currently trying to sell it) that had a range of about 13 miles and top speed of 20 mph that initially cost about $1300.

Now I own one which has a range of 30 miles and top speed of 50 mph which cost $3600.

I also owned an electric bike which would have worked well in Berkeley (that's where I went to college, btw) and only cost $350.
