Absolutely not!
Using 1 HP is just brute force, not good design, and that's because it's direct drive which is definitely not the best way of making a hub motor for bikes.
Add to that the very heavy large batteries needed for that motor size and you've got something that would make an old Powabyke seem a lightweight.
Just another in the constant stream of very bad designs that the USA produces for the e-bike market. I cant even think of one really good one, the Currie and BionX being the nearest to that, but both with deficiencies and from unfinished GM and Chrysler research years ago.
