Of course. However, riders on returning from a test ride on a 250 or 350W eZee bike often exclaim: "The eZee seems to have more power than Brand X represented as 500 W or Brand Y of 600 W!"
How can this be? The nominal Wattage rating of the motor clearly tells only part of the drive system story as it is a matter of available power where literally 'the rubber meets the road'. eZee systems deliver impressive take-off and hill climbing torque as well as acceleration.
How does the power of an electric motor compare to human power? It takes less than 80W to maintain 14 mph on level ground. Very few of us can pedal 250W except in short spurts. If you can pedal 350W continuously you shall do very well in the Tour de France…
