How much range do you actually get from a **72V eBike** with a **3000W Bafang motor**? That’s exactly what we’re finding out today.
Instead of doing a slow, perfect-condition range test, I rode the **Legit Legend** the way many owners actually will—with full-throttle acceleration, 40–50 MPH cruising, spirited riding on country roads, and some relaxed Greenway cruising mixed in.
The results show just how much your riding style affects battery life.
### In this video you’ll see:
⚡ Real-world 72V eBike range test
⚡ Full-throttle battery consumption
⚡ High-speed riding at 45–50 MPH
⚡ Low-speed pedal assist efficiency
⚡ Actual watt usage while riding
⚡ Power reduction below 30%
⚡ Real riding conditions in 95°F weather
⚡ My honest thoughts after over two hours in the saddle
### Key Results
• 45.5 miles ridden
• Finished with approximately 20% battery remaining
• 4,400+ watts during full-throttle acceleration
• Around 200–300 watts while casually pedaling
• Around 1,100 watts cruising near 28 MPH
• Power begins reducing below 30% battery
### Bike Specifications
• 72V Dual Battery System
• 35Ah Total Capacity (25Ah + 10Ah)
• 3000W Bafang Rear Hub Motor
• 5000W Peak Output rating
• 60A Bafang Controller
• Samsung 50S Battery Cells
• 50 MPH Top Speed
• 24×4 Fat Tires
• Four-Link Rear Suspension
• Adjustable DNM Air Shock
• Double Crown Suspension Fork
• Hydraulic Disc Brakes with Massive 220mm Rotors
• Torque or Cadence Sensor (Selectable)
• 9-Speed Drivetrain
• Trigger Shifters
• Dropper Seat Post
### My Takeaway
The biggest lesson from this test is simple:
Speed absolutely destroys range.
Cruising at 45–50 MPH continuously pulls roughly 4,400 watts from the battery, while relaxed riding on bike paths can use only a few hundred watts. That’s why there isn’t one “correct” range number for any eBike—it depends entirely on how you ride.
For riders who enjoy using the power occasionally but spend most of their ride cruising, I believe **50–60 miles is very realistic**, while riders who pedal consistently at moderate speeds could potentially see **60–70 miles**.
If you’re shopping for a powerful **72V electric bike**, hopefully these real-world results help you understand what to expect before buying.
