Watch throttle vs pedal behavior, battery conservation under 30%, riding tips, and the final 62.3‑mile ride data. Quick specs (test bike) Model: Magician Alpha (72V) Battery: 72V — 20Ah frame + 10Ah rear rack (30Ah total) Motor: Bafang H650 (72V platform, high peak watts) Controller: (manufacturer spec) — 72V system Typical claimed peak: ~4,500W observed during testing Weight/fit: fat‑tire, stable, quiet motor Key takeaways Steady pedaling in Pedal Assist 2 (stealth mode) drastically increases range vs throttle-only riding. Throttle‑heavy, high‑speed riding: ~30–40 miles (previous tests). Conservative/mostly‑pedal riding today: 62.3 miles on a single charge with ~22% remaining. Observed behavior: power noticeably reduces once battery drops below ~30% (conservation/limp mode). Real average: ~18.8 mph for this ride; max speed seen 47 mph downhill; total ride time ~198 minutes. Ride data snapshot (this video) Start battery: 99% — mostly pedaling on greenway 11 mi → 90% battery 22 mi → 80% battery 27 mi → 75% battery 37 mi → 61% battery (one-for-one percent→mile during steady greenway pace) Finish: 62.3 miles → 22% battery remaining (estimated ~74 mi possible total) Avg speed: 18.8 mph | Max speed: 47 mph | Total ride time: ~3h18m Why this matters Shows practical long‑ride capability when you blend pedaling and assist. Useful data for commuters and long‑distance riders deciding if a 72V dual‑battery setup fits their needs.
