I have a 430hp Porsche. Pretty sure I'd take you on your bike without engaging sport mode.

My point is that it is not the same activity once we use motors.

The fastest person up the climb is totally going to be controlled by the motor and how its governed.

Pretty absurd to sprint with a motor versus someone without one.

By analogy, I'm confident in a Porsche 911, I can dust any one in a Prius. But it would be pathetic to have to demonstrate that.
