A successful example of reigning in progress: electric bicycles intentionally speed limited for safety

There is no rein on progress. You can buy electric motorcycles without speed governors. And you can drive them on public roads (subject to traffic laws) as long as you're properly licensed, registered, and insured. The distinction between electric "bikes" and motorcycles is mostly artificial.
