to put this into perspective, comparing energy use of a car verses
energy use of a bicycle, I would like to add:

20 Ah, 48V Lithium battery, a nice mountain bike, a 83kg person.
I did 80km on the Warburton rail trail on a charge and had some left over.
I guess maybe only 20% remained. Some peddling was required and enjoyed.
Volts went from about 52 down to about 44 so I take it as 48V for the trip.
20 x 48 x 0.8 = 0.768W.hr / 80km
or 0.96 kW.hr / 100km
