I beg to differ, while I'm in the later camp. 200W help with almost no weight added seems like a good trad-off to me, specially with gravel bikes.
I agree, 200W is plenty for pedal assist. Could even go lower if they could make it lighter, which when paired with a small and light battery with about 80 mile autonomy, would yield a fun ride.
This bike would have 100 mile range under 25 or even 20 lbs, where most other ebikes would not be able to be pedaled as efficiently to do such a ride.
