If you’re investing in a 72V ebike setup, one of the biggest questions on your mind is likely: how far can I go on a full charge? With more power, speed, and torque than lower-voltage systems, a 72V 20Ah ebike battery packs serious performance but how does that translate into real-world range?
The truth is, range depends on more than just numbers. Factors like terrain, throttle usage, rider weight, and even tire pressure can impact how far you can ride. That’s why it’s important to understand not just the battery specs, but how they perform under everyday conditions.
In this guide, we’ll break down the realistic riding range of the KirbEbike 72V 20Ah Lithium Battery, explain what affects battery life, and give you pro tips to maximise every charge whether you’re running a 72V 3000W ebike kit with battery or a full 4000W off-road setup.
If you're considering upgrading to high-voltage performance, or already own a 72V ebike battery, this is the ultimate range guide you need.

What Factors Impact Your Real-World Range?
While the theoretical range of a 72V 20Ah battery is around 60–90 km, your actual riding distance will depend on several variables.
Here’s what truly affects how far your 72V ebike can go:
1. Motor Power Consumption (Wattage)
- 3000W setup: Expect ~45–70km
- 4000W setup: Closer to ~35–60km
- Higher wattage = more torque and speed, but faster energy draw
2. Throttle vs Pedal Assist
- Full-throttle riding: Fun and fast, but reduces range quickly
- PAS level 1–3: Optimises efficiency; can extend range by 20–30%
- Mixed usage gives the best balance
3. Terrain & Elevation
- Flat roads = longer range
- Hills, off-road, and soft surfaces (sand, mud) = higher load
- Technical trails may reduce range by up to 25%
4. Rider Weight & Cargo
- Heavier riders or cargo loads place more strain on the motor
- 20–30kg extra weight can reduce range by 10–15%
5. Tyre Pressure & Bike Setup
- Low tyre pressure = more rolling resistance
- Improper brake alignment = drag
- Ensure drivetrain is clean and chain is lubed for best efficiency
6. Battery Health Over Time
- The KirbEbike battery is rated for 800+ cycles, but range will slowly decline after year 2–3
- Avoid full discharges to extend lifespan
