So 81 wit packaging is not un-reasonable.
18 mph on 450 watts would be optomistic in my book, especially with a 24 volt permanent magnet set up.
Oh, wait a minute I'm just Fat.
For reference 450 watts can hold me around 16 mph without assist, but I weight 250 lbs. I'm 800 peak watts 36 volt. I want to put the whatts up on my dad's bike to see how it does.

Mine is 70 pounds and 36 volts. Flat out on level ground 23 mph. I'm 160 pounds. I think that 18 from a 24v system is pretty optimistic.
I agree there needs to be a better measuring gauge. The folks on the 36v system say that it's 20 miles at 20 mph or 1 hour on level ground.
