I have a home-brewed eBike here in Sydney, where the rules limit you to 200W (or 250W if it's pure pedal assist without a throttle). Mine will pull almost 750W

I have a home-brewed eBike here in Sydney, where the rules limit you to 200W (or 250W if it's pure pedal assist without a throttle).
Mine will pull almost 750W going uphill on a freshly charged battery.
It has a very prominent "200W" label on the outside of the battery holder.
If I rode it like an asshole, doing 45kmh on sidewalks, I doubt my "200W" label would do me any good. But I've had it eyeballed by police when they're doing their semi-regular "fine everybody without a helmet or a working bell" crackdowns on CBD commuters and have stopped me to check my bell works, and never had the power questioned.
