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.)

I have an Evolution D5 Ranger (4 forward facing seats) with the 205ah battery. I live as far north as you can get in The Villages - in Phillips Villas just off 42 near the VA. Shallow Creek is about a 27 mile drive. I've driving down, played 18, went to dinner, and drove home. Total distance was a bit over 60 miles, and I had 30% battery left when I got home. My range is ~75 miles with 10% battery remaining.
I don't drive this distance often, but I want to be able to go anywhere in The Villages and not worry about battery being a factor. If I lived in the middle of The Villages, a 160ah battery would probably suffice, but if you're at either end, the 160ah won't be big enough.
