>>1825856regular bicycles are limited by effort. they can sustain 50 km/h, but nobody does that. people don't like going fast on normal bikes because they will have to brake sooner and lose the efficiency benefits of the bike.
once you take away effort human psyche changes completely and they start riding like idiots. go as fast as possible, brake as late as possible, become a public menace #1. most of those "time savings" people rave about aren't from e-bikes actually being much faster, it's because e-bikes don't offer a choice between lazy and fast, they give both, and people who can't control themselves take both. without a natural limiter, those people need an imposed one.
