I like Cheddar and Edam, although I'd prefer a good Cheddar to a bad Edam. I like Stilton too...

But seriously, ignoring the issues around rider input (or not), it seems to me that the biggest differentiator between Panasonic and Hub motors is the maximum average speed obtainable. From anecdotal reports (on this forum) its seems that the Panasonic gives a superior 'biking' experience in all respects except speed.

Would it be too much to hope for a Panasonic powered bike that could achieve higher average speeds? Are there technical reasons why this would not be possible?

IMHO a Panasonic powered bike that could achieve the same or better average speeds as a Wisper/Torq would be the ultimate best bike, no competition possible.
