Heh, no actually you inspired me to try this, tried it around the block and and it worked flawlessly. So I went to fetch that red bike at my bro's place. Still got a semi-vintage Mikado road bike to go fetch (That one's got 27" wheels, 12 speeds and gearing clearly turned for racing, bet I can snag some parts for other bikes)

Well, at some point I wanted to get to the left turn only lane off an 6 lane road and there was a lump of cars approaching from the previous light, so I dialed it up to 400w and waited... After an eventual acceleration, before I know it this thing was going a whole lot faster then I expected, and then it hapenned: it started getting a death wobble. Quickly got a hold of it again, but man that could have been interesting.
