They are usually capped to 250W and 25KM/h. Anyone half fit could blast past 4x as fast on a regular bike than on an ebike. The benifit of an ebike is you get to your destination with minimal sweat and get about as much exercise as walking.

100kph is ~62mph IIRC. I don't think the average person could pull that off on any kind of bicycle.
