the speed thing isn't something that can be easily regulated without proper enforcement; it's trivial to convert a bike to an e-bike, and the open source firmwares and controllers out there are free of mandatory or regional speed-limiters.

it's nice that vanmoof tried to help on their side, but it's something that should be enforced at the local traffic/policing level.
