Well, that's a tiny minibike for kids with an engine smaller than a lot of weed whackers, so I would hope so.
And to be fair, this is not actually 2500w. 50A controllers and 50A BMS are a lot more expensive than 20-30A, and that hub motor is really too small and would get really hot at 2500w. It's probably limited to 1000w-1500w because of the controller and BMS even if the motor is rated for more, and can MAYBE "peak" at 2000-2500w for a second or so at launch.
The one the guy is reviewing in the youtube linked above is dual motor ("PRO" version), this one is not.
Charge time is normal, the chargers are always 2A or 4A. If it's a 20Ah battery, it will take 10 hours on a 2A charger, etc. You can find faster chargers if you want, but the slowest charge time will give you the least battery wear. Don't really know why you'd want to charge it faster anyway unless you're planning some kind of 60+ mile trip on it. 1000 cycles is also a very normal stated life for 18650 cells, you're actually kind of lucky to get 1000 (full) cycles in an ebike unless you run the cells at under 1C and baby it.
