    Thats more what i mean, even the lime ones are absurdly fast, not like a lightly assisted e-bike. And the electric motorbikes are being ridden where pedestrians walk, often incredibly dangerously

      I highly doubt the lime ones are. The speed limit does only apply to motor assist though, if you can pedal hard enough you can go as fast as you like.

      Especially on short bursts you can easily cycle over 20mph, probably 30. With a long hill helping you could even exceed 40.
