Did some more running with the bike. I ran around on a couple smaller rides and have to say I'm really liking this BMC S hub. It really has some great torque. I ran a 21.4 mile trip and peddled the whole time and used 21.6 watts per mile. Tonight I went for a no peddle ride to see what kind of range I could get and to check the power on all my hills. The biggest hill I have that starts at about 3% and goes up to an easy 10 to 15% for almost a mile I was able to carry not drop below 18.5mph at the top. The top section is the steepest part. I got some video of the CA holding my camera in my hand steering with the other hand. For those that haven't tried this yet....don't. 34 mph on a bumpy bike path one handed is scary as anything I have done before. On just electric motor power I could not stop cruise at 27-28 mph and never loose speed but as I went to higher speed (I'm sure this is all elementary!) the speed fluctuated a lot. This is with me sitting straight up on my extra large bike, not to shabby.
I keep thinking I wanna go faster but I know it has to be a full suspension bike with motorcycle style wheels/tires and disk brakes. My bike is a hybrid and has the skinny tires on it. Prolly maxing it out going 40 mph.
