As long e-bikes are still limted by silly 250w/500w motors they're never going to take out in the mass market.

Your jurisdiction may vary, but often anything higher is classified as a moped and requires a driver's license.

What do you think is a reasonable top speed (or power, the two are related) at which point someone blasting by you in the bike lane feels more like road traffic?

eBikes outsell in the Netherlands.
They are booming across most of Europe. Every bike shop I see has at least a couple of models in the lineup, this is a big change from a couple of years ago.
