Then the average e-bike rider could put out 300w + 250w for 10 seconds.

In reality the wattage is nominal, I'm pretty sure the Bosch motor on my bike is peaking at closer to 500w. The manufacturers don't seem to take these figures that seriously unlike the maximum speed cutoff.

Very good point about peak wattage.
