1500 watts 33mph is not considered an ebike is most states...and is also illegal for middle schoolers in most states... Be warned!

The legal limit for an ebike tops out at 28mph and 750W (1hp). Anything above either speed or power is a moped or a motorcycle, both of which require licenses.
Some states limit kids even more, like to ebikes capped at 20mph. NJ has banned ebikes for all unlicensed riders, after a kid ebiked into traffic and died. (And all parties voted for it. "Think of the children!")
Furthermore, this form factor is not good for a bicycle where you pedal. That big, wide seat? Yeah, that's crap for pedaling. Do you see any way of adjusting that seat for pedal comfort or power? Absolutely not. Notice how slack the chain is in the "action shot" on level ground. Not a great sign for keeping the chain attached.
Lastly, this "bike" screams "I wish I were a motorcycle." Triple-tree front end? Way too heavy for any bicycle. Oversized tubular steel frame? Same. Square seat in a fixed position? Only for 100% motor use. Big ol' eyeball headlight? Absolutely motorcycle-wannabe.
This thing all but has a sign that says "Do any cops want to harass me over my unlicensed e-motorcycle?"
