Here's the 7500w kit on a big box bike.

It's not so much power that's the limiting factor, it's torque. If you choose your gearing wisely, you can run crazy levels of power through even the cheapest of bicycle drivetrains. The reason the 7500w kit doesn't tear your bike apart is because it doesn't have the 6:1 primary reduction that the Cyclone 3000 has.
It seems that most people only buy one of two motors they offer (the Cyclone 3000 or the Cyclone Mini as Luna Cycle calls it). The different wattages come from the different controllers. They offer different motors, but they aren't as popular for some reason.

markz said:So for their $399 2kw-4kw kits they charge $120 for s/h $520USD($658CAD/AUS)
Difference is between 2-4kw and 1.8kw-3kw
650-1.7kw
Those numbers gotta be Nominal (# - #) Maximum
Then theres the crazy 7.5kw and 18kw with BB setup which would rip through any bicycle grade components.
