Yeah, my current bike has a power scale setting. Adjusting the pedal assist directly adjusts the max power output. And at the 250W level, I work up a sweat whenever I push it.

Which, again, is fine, if the bike is just for exercise or commuting. But it stops it from being a viable car replacement.
