Yep more is better! The whole "Stealth electric motorbike" thing is really helpful around here too, in nanny state with 250W and 25kmh limits. Just get an obscure brand with pedals and remove the labelling and hey presto you're legal.I'm considering a 5kW electric mountain bike. We have a 1kW big adventure fat tire, which is fun, but too long and unwieldy for the complicated 45 degree mountains by my house. At 5k it can do almost 50. There's a 15k version that will do over 90. LOL!
Yesterday I hit my fastest ever on our bike, at 29 in the desert it felt super fast. So of course, I need more. I need shin guards.
I think the sweet spot is between 5-10kW, but with hydraulic brakes and decent suspension and frame. One thing that is really good for off road is 2x2 drive, really helps stability and performance, and to get the power down.
