correct.
A good amateur racer can put out 300w for an hour
200w is a decent, steady power output that most conditioned cyclists
can hold indefinitely
At 100w, you're only going abou 15mph, trivial for any regular cyclist.

turning that into useful power is another question entirely. That gets
into all the conversion efficiency considerations. You guys can argue
all day about that.
