To tell the truth, I have never used full power, I also have never smoked Crack Cocain and for the same reason, I don't want to get hooked on it. 250w may be fine if you ride a stripped down cruiser on flat roads, I don't know. I Do know that even a 500w motor wouldn't take me where I go with the gear I carry. When I get to ride Generals Hwy (198) in central California to General Sherman Tree I want to be able to enjoy the whole ride and only stop when I want to, not because I just coughed up a lung.
