Yes, this is for a full size bike, a recumbent.

A typical man has the potential energy of roughly 200 watts oof power in his legs. This motor is capable of 4000 watts continuous. If you do some E-bike research, you will find that typical E-bikes run about 400 to 600 watt motors and those motors are 40% to 60% efficient. This motor will put out over 5hp continuous. That is more than a 50cc scooter.

Anyway, I know this is an RC forum. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. But, I figured you guys would get a kick out of it because I am using all RC equipment for this project.
