Yeah, most of the 1000 watt hub wheel motors I see on ebay are limited to 45 mph at full speed, then of course with it mounted hind you it would cause some problems with tight turns in parking lots. 1000 watts may not be enough to help you maitnain speed, but it should help you coast further and if used in combination of pulse n glide get you more fuel economy. An idea I had was to mount a small tire to it, mount it under the hood and use it to help spin the engine.
