Last month riding my road bike on my commute home, I saw a MTB pull out onto the trail ahead of me. I thought - MTB! I'll run down this infidel in short order [usually MTB are slower, though some riders are pretty strong]. In short order he started pulling away. That triggered me to pursue (I had a hunch) and confirm he had an electric motor font hub. I did have to reach 24 mph and take over a minute to catch up.
My normal road bike commute speed is closer to 16mph. When I get my Bionx installed on my cross bike next week I hope to pull some 20+ mph commutes.
