Not even 1hp for x,000 RPM would be my guess. My only frame of reference is a 1hp electric car I built in high school that could probably do 50mph if given the right gearing and a long enough straight. I got it up to 43mph around an oval 1/4 mile track, but tire grip was the limiting factor.

1hp is a lot of power.
