Al, Good point on the gearing issue, but about watts, see the compairison chart on the little machine shop site:
http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/minimill_compare.php
They list all the variations of the X2 style machines, each has the same wattage rating on the motor: 350, but the stated HP goes from 4/5 HP for Harbor Freight, to 3/4HP for Grizzly, and .47 HP for Micro Mark. Little Machine Shop sells the replacement motor that fits them all, and it is rated 350 watts. Is there a 550 watt replacement motor out there for the X2?

It depends on how accurate their HP assessment of the original motor is?
When powering a bike, I assume there is gearing involved?
To do an accurate comparison, the drive train system would have to be known. No?
