"Depending on his size, a sprinter can produce more than 1,400 watts of power heading to the finish line."

No it doesn't. Conversion from one unit of power to another is a matter of simple math. 1 hp = 745 W no matter what the source is (legs, motor, actual horses).
Gotta love it.
Guy gets called out for not knowing what he's talking about.
Claims instead of not knowing how to convert units, that he was arbitrarily including an efficiency factor that he didn't mention.
Besides dude, you were saying cyclists produce 1600-1700 W which means they put out 1.5-1.7 HP, you weren't even talking about your motor at that point, you just straight up got the conversion wrong.
Then repeats exactly what I said after I pointed out that his 1600-1700 W number was wrong, as though he is trying to correct me.
Besides, even if you were talking about peak power, what relevance does it have for your argument?
We said we call BS on the speeds you claim, over a pretty long distance, so you say, yeah well sprinters are really fast over 100m??????
