Honestly, how much power can be transferred to propel the 220 lb. bike with those tiny crankarms before they snap off?

When I lived in China, in addition to my bicycle, I had one of those little electric scooters. By local law it was a bicycle, getting around a lot of legal issues. In the US, I think it would be too slow. I have looked at the electric motor scooters here in the US and about the only one, of any respectable quality, here in the US is the Vespa. However, it is quite expensive.
I recently got a new eBike, to replace my homemade one. I like it a lot, other than the poor range. Having it puts me out of the market for a couple of years, but I still keep my eye on the market because it interests me.
