They don't offer that larger battery. Next, The one I'm looking at is 77 inches in height. I have the map of all tunnels in the villages and know that several are only 74 inches in height at the sides (82 inches in middle ) What is your experience with actual mileage and dealing with the lower tunnels?

Over that, and gas is the way to go.
Height is your problem, the rest is personal choice.

Anyone who's willing to drive around in a golf cart, 50 miles a day, gets what he deserves ... a sore butt, sore back & a headache.

There's no way you can get 60 miles from a 160 battery at 20 mph ... you're definitely not going to get that, at 27 mph.

Figure 30-40 miles at TV Speeds (which is always pedal to the metal).

& yeah, there are people on here who insist they get 60-70 miles on a 150/160. I've called them on it and no one's willing to do a real test. I have a 210. At TV Speeds, I get about 50 miles of range. I could probably nurse it to 60, but I'd really have to be careful. (I also had a "loaner" one week, with a 105. I got about 24 miles and ran it dead.)
