...are very much McLaren and not some rebadged catalogue frame. "Designed by the same teams responsible for supercars like the electrified lightweight McLaren Artura hybrid supercar...

I'm not sure whether that's the flex they think it is. I'd rather have my bike designed by people who have a lot of experience, you know, designing and refining bikes.

And a supercar is less of a electro-mechanical system than a ebike how?

Best they can do is a bike that's as expensive as a car probably, it may or may not actually be a good bike.

Emphasis on the legal part.

The Extreme 600 and Sport 600 models are hailed as the most powerful street-legal electric bikes, with up to 852W of peak power.

That's really not that much. I'm sure it's a very high quality bike, but for raw power, you can get several times that from Chinese ebikes. They don't really care about the regulations, and there are bikes with several kilowatt motors. Although the line between "mountain bike" and "motocross bike" start blurring a tad at that point because the motors and batteries increase the heft of the bike a bit.

I'd still definitely take the McLaren, as I'm sure they're engine is far superior and 500+ watts properly utilised is quite sufficient.
