Sounds like that super motor would cause the bike to outrun the headlights they offer. Should I start another thread to ask if any company has a battery that is a basic part of the frame, a monocoque battery as it were, instead of just sticking the boxy battery somewhere that it fits?

One thing that does happen though, is motors are under rated for legal reasons. I've ridden some "500W" bikes from stores, and damn if they didn't have the most powerful '500W' motors I've ever seen.

Hub motor dealers don't need to fudge facts as they already own a majority of the ebike market. The hub motor simulator at www.ebikes.ca has been proven very accurate compared to real world testing.

28 miles in 38 minutes, no hailing. You would have been dropped after the first stoplight on this ride, but I'm sure you'd get to the finish eventually. Unless of course your motor smokes going up the Alex Fraser bridge.

Yea, but I beat all the Pro bicycle racers to Crator rim 1/4 mile from the summit peak on the side of it to the highest elevation on Maui after the first 3 team racers made it passed me while I was enjoying the view for 20 minutes resting warm batteries after climbing a 15% grade for last 10 miles.Besides I was not racing any one with 100 lbs of non lithium batteries.They had 7 to 10 lb bikes cost 8 grand built by team Mavac.Give it a try some day LMAO and cook pancakes on your hub motor for breakfast before the first 10 miles.This was the only time any electric vehicle or ebike besides mine has climbed a vertical rise of this elevation.It was street legal at the time.It still is in all US states besides two.Give it up LOL= Lowell Hub motors will never have what it takes for light weight high performance and last vary long climbing hills espacilly with fat people riding them.

You have also mentioned that there is about a 12" interference in the middle of the bike to make room for batteries. Simply, this is not what I would consider a comfortable, ridable, bike. You have produced an electric Volcano racer. Great! I expect that it was, and is, a lot of fun. Again, most people are looking at ebikes are looking at electric assist bicycles, not Volcano racers.

You forget that most people are not interested in Volcano Racing, except in an abstract, scientific or sporting way. I think most people looking at ebikes are just looking for something that is pleasant to ride and is a bit faster or easier to ride than a normal bike (my reason is different, an ebike gets me around the anti-bicycle rules here). Pleasant includes a bike that is pleasant to look at (ebikes, pretty much, all seem weak in this regard). Bikes that look like two wheeled battery carts are not what people want, this is without regard to technical superiority.
