That was the power rating for a single cell - the pack has lots of cells in it.

If you take hobby remote control cars as an example, I just bought an average lithium powered one that can do 45A at 11.7v, or roughly 500w to drive a <5lb toy car (very quickly). A 12lb skateboard and a 180lb rider will need several thousand watts peak I would imagine, at least.
