I agree with one of the posts above-- if you have a powered bike that will do 30mph, might as well just do the segments in a car. It's got a 250W hub, and the Strava estimated power for his rides is usually 310-330W, so this guy is just soft-pedaling the 70-90 minutes until the battery runs out. I mean, it sounds like fun, but I would never use it to climb Strava leaderboards.
