Seems it's easy to modify an e-bike to travel up to about 45 kph.

Unskilled newbies blasting through traffic at 30 mph? Sure! What could
go wrong?

Given the amount of plastic in modern cars, it might redress the
bicyclist/motorist injury ratios.

A 250 watt motor is max legal here,but its possible to buy a 1,000 watt
overseas and ship it in. All it requires is wheel buldng skills and deep
pockets for the battery. OTOH, we can all hope self immolation is a
feature of such activities.

Professional cyclist can develop peak power of about 1200 watts in a
sprint and can reach a speed of about 66 mph. Perhaps just an exercise
program is cheaper than a souped-up e-bike :-)

Work, sweat, you jest.
The buyers would be people who want a "motor cycle" but are banned
because they don't have a riders license. usually for past misdemeanors.
At one stage, ICE add ons for bicycles were popular, until they were out
lawed. E-bikes only now.
