No 32-inch, 17h option?

"It could be argued that climbing, not descending defines the sport. Homo sapien-sapiens are inherently lazy, preferring to populate river valleys and seaside retreats where accessing food sources and mating opportunities are rarely farther than a minute's walk. Mountains are wild and unpopulated because access requires effort. The harder it is to pedal to the top, the more likely it will be that you'll escape average humanity's noise, litter and situational numbness. The return for a few thousand pedal strokes and burning legs cannot easily be purchased: silence and solitude on the way up - and few reasons to hold back on the way down. Mountain biking is wonderful because it's not easy." "The satisfaction that awaits a successful climb is not easily explained. We're not conquering mountains, as is so often written. We're conquering self doubt - overcoming inertia that's been hardwired by a lifetime of setting readily achievable goals. "Could have, Should Have and Might Have Been" are the daemons we fight with each rhythmic breath and revolution of the crankset, and while there are rare moments when the body and mind revel in the experience, climbing is mostly an uncomfortable, but all-consuming conversation between the two that comes to an abrupt end at the summit. Reaching it never gets old, but maybe that's just me." Richard Cunningham Pink Bike Jul 19, 2019

"There is no universal, legally mandated scientific formula used by governments to verify nominal wattage. Because nominal testing conditions are defined by the manufacturer, a brand can take a motor capable of running at 1000W continuously and simply stamp it with a "750W Nominal" label. Unless a regulatory agency burns out the motor on a dynamometer to prove its exact thermal degradation threshold, the stamped label stands as the legal rating."

Maybe super duper extended over run feature? Three pedal strokes gives you 150 Nm of torque and 1700 watts of power for 60 seconds?

So basically its coming down to as long as it has cranks/pedals and does not go over 20mph, you can have what ever motor you want.

@fuzzhead45: 1,100W and 1,300W continuous output for like 60 seconds, then you need to give it a break for like 5 seconds and get another 1,100W and 1,300W continuous output ect... ect... ect...

Bet they send Christmas cards to their orthopedic surgeons every year.

@nzandyb: Immediately after the 0.2 second delay.

Max Alran and his bike caught fire yesterday.
