Or more specifically capability of providing power when at or above 28kmph. 100% of e-bikes are capable of reaching 100mph.

Ehh probably not. The downhill bike speed record is only a little over 100mph, took a 45 degree slope, high altitude and an aero suit. Most of these cheap shitheaps would be falling apart at half of that.
