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.

hehe, use a little less battery and more of your own power and you can change that.
I'm back up to 230 and am getting back on the bike after a year hiatus. I'm running a power meter and average around 200 watts from my legs on a ride. This ebike thing has got me thinking electric assist velomobile? Those things need about 75w on level ground to do 25mph, and joe average can easily maintain 30+ on level ground. It's the weight/hills that kills them.
