Solid point olddog. Thinking I'll convert all power makers and users in my house to hp, cause I like hp better than anything else (even beer). Not too sure how much hp to assign for the wife though. I mean I can make sense of her motion and torque potential, just not educated enough to factor in the friction.

A good cyclist can produce 1.2 kW.

That's only for short bursts.
I'd be lucky to sustain 0.25kW (0.3 HP) for more than a minute. (Although I'm definitely not a "good" cyclist.) |

A spri(n)ter can even go higher. My limit is also approx 250 Watt during an EEG.
But how much torque is 1 kW with a 170 mm crank on the bike? :-) (Back to the topic?)
And what role do 70 rpm play?
;-)

Yep, every Sprite I've ever driven seemed like it was putting out about a light bulb's worth of power.  |

1.6 Hp for Mike.
So, it's possible to go over 25 mph on a bicycle with only 1.6 Hp? Hmm... Never gave it any thought. |

Actually, there are many bikes with 750 watts that will easily do that. They are usually governed to 20 mph (I think that's a law), but it's an artificial limit. A little tweaking yields over 30 mph. |
