It's pointless comparing the power or speed to a stealth bomber. This is just a bare frame that looks like a bomber. Sure, compare the weight and handling but as far as power and speed goes it may as well be a shopping trolly or pair of roller skates.
Power and speed comes from the battery, controller and the type of motor (size and winding) - so bolt on what ever suits your needs.
agreed.

Korpin, keep in mind watts = amps x volts. Just because you know the watts, doesnt mean you know how they reached that number. 4000watts could be 100v 40amps, 72v 55amps, or even 48v 80amps. All of which would result in a drastically different top speed, wile maintaining the same watts. for the most part, your top speed is determined by volts. Amps is acceleration. So when you see a 100v 40amp (4000watt) bike and a 100v100amp (10,000watt) bike compaired; even though they will have close to the same top speed, the 10,000watt bike would destroy the 4,000watt bike in a race from 0-50mph . Similarly, if you had a 100v 50amp bike vs an identical 50v 100amp bike, the 100v50amp bike would have a much higher top speed, even though they are both 5Kw. Yes you are right, in that eventually you will hit a point of diminishing returns, where it will just create heat. This point will depend on the hub. Smaller hubs like the Magic pie, GM, BMC's etc... will not be happy over 4000watts (+-). Where as the larger hubs like the CroMotor, 540x 530x can take upwards of 10,000watts before issues. (This is provided you dont want to run full throttle for long periods of time, otherwise either of these hubs will burn up eventually. also, these figures are based off of a 100v setup. less volts = more amps = more heat.) . On my 5304 and 5403 i notice a HUGE difference between 100amps and 40amps. I tried to remember it with Voltage = Velocity. Amps = Acceleration. Hope this helps clear up your confusion.
The range is there in most setups since the frame allow massive battery packs, because i would hate to run out of juice. B-)
Top speed 180 km/h, max current 600 A @ 100 V.
