It was a blast, but you want more? No satisfying some people!

My electric assist bike is 300 watts. Its the right combination of assistance an exercise (and i can adjust how much assistance it gives when it isn't).

500w is a nice number. Rarely makes it so that I feel I need "more". (ie, it can conquer most hills and acceleration isn't sluggish). 800w is really quick off the line and can tackle any hill.
