    i’m positive that it’s output - or at least an estimate thereof. the math aligns very closely with predicted speed and power...

    important distinction - 10 MPH, not 6. 6% grade. i don't know yet what it'll be at 6mph (which is more like a 10% grade, coincidentally)...

    right, the question is are these small hub motors geared internally in a way to be efficient at, say, 6mph - which is around 75 rpm...
