I think that used to be true in the early wave of e-bikes.

Today, I regularly see e-bikes and scooters easily keeping up with traffic that is moving upward of 50 km/h.

If there are still e-things on the market today with speed limitations not related to their power capacity, people must be easily working around those limits somehow, with firmware patches or secret codes or what have you.

Most of the stuff comes from China, which is an uncontrollable entity that doesn't care about regulations in North America and elsewhere.

Where I am the max speed is 32kmh by regulation.
