+120rpm at the ranks you can but fastest i got is 39.6mph :confused:
To do over 40 mph, you need around double 730W, so getting on for 1500W, and that's if you are on a racing bike on the drops in a good aero position, with no head wind and no gradient. For a mountain bike with wide tyres and an upright position, you'd need a lot more than 1500W.

Maybe if you are also putting in a lot of effort, but you'd need high gearing and wouldn't be able to maintain it for long.

Downhill you might be able to go faster. But once the motor reaches it's max speed, if there isn't an increase in voltage, it won't go any faster, even if the power is available, it will be down to you and gravity to make you go faster :)

Downhill momentum,weight and gravity with some hard pedalling will see one hit 50mph.

Freewheeling down the Wicklow gap will get you there easily. Getting to the top in the first place is another matter.
