I don't necessarily think speed is an issue with e bikes, since the assistance stops at a certain speed. I commute by (non electrical) bike to work every day and can reach the same speed as e bike commuters - my acceleration is just slower and it takes more work to get there (especially on windy days)

You see regular bikes going on very high speed as well, so I wouldn't say the general speed assumption has to change
