I presume the chain tensioner is intended to take up some of the shock between a big blast from the motor through the chain and hub.
I don't understand what you need 2500W for and what to do with it. I have an ordinary Bosch motor (250W) yet I have no problems reaching 50kph. What is all that power for? I guess I would need to try, except... sadly, I just got a message on FB from Luna Cycles saying they do not ship prebuilt bikes internationally. I would have liked to try this one out...
