And for those who don’t know, an e-bike may have a 250 - 1000+ watt motor.
True, but as far as I know, no city-approved rental company is renting bikes with anything greater than 750watts, as it would be a major liability, especially when the rental companies don’t offer helmets.
If anyone’s city is offering e-bikes with motors over750 watts, I would be very interested to hear about it.

Rentals, likely not. But private e-bikes can get to 1000+ watts or more.
Even a 500w motor is a lot, and for someone who would typically ride at 150w (their own power), it would feel like they have superpowers.
