Bikes vs. cars also gets hit with the squared-cubed law. Energy storage scales with the cube of vehicle size, while frontal area scales with the square. Air drag accounts for the majority of energy usage at highway speed, so for the same vehicle shape, range scales with size. Add the fact that bikes have a high Cd compared to cars and range is always going to be markedly less.
