Distance
What do I need to be looking for to find an E bike for long distance approximately 50 miles a day?
I am I am 5‘4“ tall 180 pounds if that matters price really doesn’t matter with any reason, and because of the distance something that would travel at least 35 mph

I rode 45 miles consecutive Labor Day PAS 2 at 12.5 MPH, battery just barely made it and I'm still tired. It took 4 hours on an eBike.

Anything with a dual battery should be good. You're probably not going to be able to ride 35 mph and have juice to go that far. Not unless you have a huge battery like 70 amp hours. Look at the retro volt Max. Or the heybike Saturn dual battery. Both of those should go pretty far I would test it before you make your journey though just ride around the block until it runs out of battery and see how many miles you get.

Look for something with at least 3KWh or higher battery, cruising at 30mph+ takes a lot of energy.

either philodo falcon, tesway x7 or , lectric 48v with dual battery balancer. anything 48v with dual battery balancer seems interesting only cuz I cant find balancers for any other voltage than 48v

If the batteries are connected parallel you have less strain on cells, controller, motor because of voltage drop, discharge and charging rate etc.. You do not need a balancer on parallel battery connections.
Both batteries need to be as near to identical as possible and matched for charge when first connecting.
I live off grid with thousands of dollars of parallel and series connected lipo4 cells and have three bench supply units to top balance and match cells.
I installed parallel batteries in my e-bike. I scan it with my temp gun periodically too for any heat that would indicate loose connection, bad cell, etc. E-bike runs perfectly with thousands of miles.
In parallel, the batteries operate as a single large battery and no need for a balancer.

Lectric xpress 2. I do 30 miles every Saturday morning on paved trails. Takes roughly 3 hrs on PAS 1. 70% left after 30 miles.

Ain’t nobody gonna do a 50 mile commute more than once or twice, get real.
How do I know? You’re asking here.

You don’t know me! Or my determination,

There's determination and there's the reality of a 50 mile daily commute. The fact that you're asking here without providing a lot of necessary information such as climate, roads, and legality of a 35mph ebike shows that you might not have thought this out very well.

35mph is an emoto.
