I was getting 25 miles out of about a kWh on my Organic Transit ELF, which back up your estimate. That is 40kW/mile. It has bodywork, and weighs about 450lb with my in it and a bit of gear. TOp speed was an average of 24 mph for an hour - that is working hard at the pedals. If I would slack off on the pedalling it would drop down to between 22 and 23 mph. Show what the 125W of a human can do - not that much. The ELF I use has a 750W motor.
