I'm not accelerating all that hard, either: maybe a bit over half throttle, and enough to kick in the assist.
For the record, that's basically my definition of "punching it" in the Turtle! Pretty much keeping up with traffic, lol.

I kick it in with assist up to cruising speed, but I'm not red-lining it or anything, and I shift around 3K to 3500 rpm until 3rd, and sometimes skip 4th and jump straight into fifth.
