I think the poster meant that the average rider could do 100-200 Watts per hour -- that is, a person could comfortably output 100 to 200 Watts continously for an hour or two. Wrong units, yes; but right concept. Most riders could not kick out 320W for an hour, but they could do 100W for 3.2 hours -- both are 0.32kWh.
