As for your miss conception that a BBS02 will rarely exceed 750 watts, you should spend some time with the ebike simulator here

A little quirky to learn to use, click the throttle setting to "auto" for the most insight, but they actually tested a whole range of motors, the BBS02 included.
I dont know how many times I have read that, and I still cant keep it straight in my head. Its not intuitive, but it makes sense when it is all laid out like that.
Thanks for the reminder.
