The power is not the main issue. The energy storage and the density/weight of the energy storage is the biggest issue.

Show me a reasonable sized battery with an acceptable life to go with it. Oh wait, that technology does not yet exist.

"This isn't the only electric motor Yamaha has developed. Starting last year, Yamaha began expanding its business to include development of motors ranging from 47 to 268 horsepower. The smaller units were created for personal mobility vehicles and motorcycles in mind, while the more powerful units are intended for passenger cars"
