these speed limits are easily circumvented and some bikes are designed to make that possible
the acceleration of an e-bike is way higher, which means that riders can get going at very high speeds in tight spaces where regular bikers couldn’t.
A better solution might be capping the power output of the rider and motor combined at something like 300W (ie a good sustained effort for a strong cyclist), and disabling power assist if the rider breaks that threshold.
What difference does it make if e-bikes are restricted to a speed that the average “analog” bike can easily do though?
