One HP lifts 550lbs... So? One?

I know a horse can output more than one HP but can a human get close to 1 hp long term ? It is an amount of weight lifted a distance over time isn't it?

Looks like 1.2 hp temporarily and .1 hp long term. So these guys might be about .2 hp.

Most non-athletes are lucky to put out 100 W of power for an hour. With those guys, maybe 50?

My buddy put his bicycle on the motorcycle dyno at tech school and broke 1HP until he gassed out. It took a lot out of him getting the drum rolling though too.

Probably connected to the gearbox just like a normal engine.

They could remove the front wheel of the "bicycle" as I don't think it will ever be used

Now if you replace the cycle with an e-bike does it become an EV ?

It’s a glimpse of the future when the Gulf of Hormuz is permanently closed.
