For reference here's mine, with a rear-hub motor instead of a mid-drive. I regularly go full-torque on the motor, but perhaps the lever-arm is different because the force is directly on the axle vs coming through the chain?

I talk about this with our city planners all the time. Ski/golf resort? Vacation getaway? Walkable, safe infrastructure, cars excluded from pedestrian areas, kids bike to the pool solo... as long they're on vacation. The "real-world" places we design and build, where we live and work every day?
