So like everyone else, gas prices are killing me. I need a bike that can go 60mph and go about 25 miles or more as my work is kind of far from home. Are people building stuff like this? Idk where to even begin. Thanks.
 
Idk what you consider affordable, but at least $6500 for what you want already fabricated.

What's the price range, there are some decent bikes with bafang ultra 620 motors that'll do about 40 mph and can get you 25 miles for under 4000. What terrain are you riding, want a road, mtb, cruiser, fat tire etc?
 
A bike like this will go about 37-40mph and gice you the range. You could also purchase a 48v25ah dorado battery for about $700 and more than double your range.

The road to my work is 55mph, so even if I could buy something and mod it to go faster, that could work
 
By a motorcycle a bike is not the tool for it. that speed there is no way you could stop fast one good bump and it can be all over. Plus unless your very experienced with bikes then that would make it even worse.
True, but I'm sure there is a reason he wants ebike instead. They have some that go that fast, just not cheap. Not sure if you want your first build to be a 60 mph bike? Either way be careful.
 
As others pointed out you've specified a electric motorbike not ebike. Any ebike built to go this fast would be forever breaking as bike components aren't designed for these speeds or power levels needed. Tires alone are only rated for 28mp h, odd burst of 60mph is OK but sustained they will most likely burst. Good luck walking away from that crash.
 
I looked up the fastest a person has gone on a bike without aerodynamic assistance (following a race car) and its something like 85 mph. This is a very high tech aerodynamic egg with a very fit rider. Even with electric assist with an unrestricted e bike I think anything over 30 mph is unrealistic. Even 30 mph the rider is going to be working hard.

A BBSHD with a 48-52v battery will do 30 to 33mph. Your title is an oxymoron.
