Wow... TURBO mode is RIDICULOUS.... delivering 10x to 20x input watts, up to 530W max.  This mode lets you go 20-25mph with very little effort, and would be what you would want to use on streets when you're dealing with car traffic and you need to do 25 consistently.  I rode past the local middle school at 25+mph when the kids were outside, and it caused quite the stir...   Cheesy   and after 5+ miles, I had only used 25% battery, so maybe 18+ miles total range on flat ground.  Again, though it's HARD to get your speed above the rated cutoff mph, due to the rotational inertia.
 
OK, testing done...  this is an impressive assist system, although a bit heavy.  Quiet, powerful, and quick response.  Not sure I'd recommend it for a trike, although if you can use a wider tire, it would reduce the vibration some -- but it still makes the back heavy in turns.
 
Now to figure out where list it to sell it...  $925, anyone? (retail $1,500 plus tax)

Question? Does the battery ever get dizzy going around and around in that wheel?
