You must know some things no one else knows. :-)

Nope, it all factors out. It's just a comparison.

Nope. Unsupported assumptions.
1) That all of the energy was extracted from the battery

The user said that this was the "range".

No, he did not. He said he did 12 miles at 17 mph
comfortably. He did not say 12 miles is the range.

He said "does" and then followed it with the statement about range.
He meant range.


And why do you think that range = total energy in
the battery?
I think nothing of the kind. Energy you don't get out of the battery
is a loss as far as finding the range is concerned.

Any energy not going to make
the range is a loss of some form or other.

Completely ambiguous, and it is not a closed
system.
There is nothing ambiguos about it at all. The energy either gets
used in making range or it does not. Everything that doesn't is a
loss as far as range calculation is concerned,

No. He said:
"At the moment, it does 12 miles at 17 mph quite comfortably
with no input from the rider."

Read the next thing he said so you take the word "does" in context.
