I think I read somewhere that front mounted hub motors should not exceed 400 watts or so. So yes, I can see how a high torque 750 watt front mounted hub motor could present a safety risk.

one of the best things on e-bikes as you can run studded tires without cutting your speed in half like you do with an analogue bike...

If you want power, put the hub motor in the rear, not the front. Front forks are not designed for power, and when something goes wrong, you end up in the hospital - especially if you lose the front end at speed...
