As to where the danger cut off is 350W, 500W, 800W..? I think a lot would depend on how you use the assist... Helping to get up the hill with the loader trailer or also pushing the bike to get up the hill because you don't want to pedal...
The trailer is mostly a pushing device, there really isn't much room to put anything in it. It's 40 pounds stock and 60 pounds with an extra battery. It's not designed to be a trailer that takes the load of the trailer off your legs, it's designed to be an e-bike conversion kit with a small amount of storage. Seems like a bad idea to me, but it's been around since 2012 I think. Don't know how many they sold.
