A reasonable assumption, but an assumption nonetheless, given that the OP has not been especially forthcoming about it.
I also don't think anyone would expect him to hit 70 mph. I think the experiment of how fast it could go is interesting.
I didn't pull that number outta my ass, you know. It was mentioned above and determining the power you'd need under the best circumstances on an unfaired upright bike to achieve that seemed like it might be of interest. You're welcome to be uninterested. That's what the scroll wheel's for.
