*Well it's an electric bike but considering the sheer weight of the thing from the battery, motor, suspension fork, and all of my gear like a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, cooking kit, food, 2-4 liters of water, tools, spare parts, laptop, camera, clothes for several days, etc. and the drag from having all that stuff hanging off the bike riding on the lowest power setting to get the most mileage is only slightly easier than riding a normal bike unencumbered and if I ever run out of power it's much, much harder.

**I'm starting in the midwest and heading to the west coast, it's going to be about 2,300-2,500 miles or a bit more than 3/4s of the width of the country.

The longest trip I've gone on was about 250 miles and that took four days after which I definitely needed the rest I got when I got home. So if I do four days on and one off resting that should be about 50 days or so assuming nothing major happens like an injury or an issue with the bike that requires leaving it at a shop overnight. On the other hand I might find that as time goes on I get more efficient and make more miles per day, I could probably shoot for 75 a day.
