I think it's more like an assist. The Crystalyte and Estelle are a
couple of kW, but the downside of those is the weight of batteries
needed. Both those suppliers are not forthcoming with range figures,
which I expect would be fairly meagre, saying in effect only that
the harder you run the motor the lower the range. The minimum
you'd want to run them is to cover the extra weight. The temptation
might be to use the motor more than necessary, and then you get
to thinking about "necessary"

Even if you could fit one of those high wattage systems in NZ, over
300W =3D paperwork
