While true, not many casual cyclists can maintain 250W for more than 10-15 minutes. And 750W is an all-out sprint for many casual cyclists. 1000W-1500W is a sprint for trained cyclists.

So, that 1000W motor is, in theory, as fast as my sprint, but for a much longer time period. And also in excess of the speed limit on a residential street.
