That is true, but most people without e-bikes don't reach 30+km/h in a burst, unless they're on a road bike specifically designed to accelerate quickly. However, there are strict speed limit laws for e-bikes, not only that they can't power above 25 km/h. Them not being enforced by the police is another thing in itself ๐Ÿ˜
