Where is that out of curiosity? I don't know the laws everywhere of course not even in different states, but I was able to get a 500W(advertised at 1000 peak) off of Amazon here in GA, US for fairly cheap and ride it without any issues.
Looking at the GA state laws, it would count as a class 3 ebike (under 750W pedal assist higher than 20 mph but lower than 29 mph)(also has a mode that works as class 2, full motor up to 20mph but I never use it), which just means I have to be above 15 and wear a helmet. Technically, I should always ride it on the road instead of on the sidewalk, but the sidewalks around here hardly ever have people on them, so I mix between.
I do generally prefer lower pedal assist since I use it for exercise as well, and I don't feel comfortable going above 20 anyway so I only hit max 25 going down hills because I'm already trying to brake if I'm going above 23 or so
