A local MUP I ride has the problem with speeding e-bikes also (though not many, at least not yet). There are also mtn.bike trails off of the paved MUP. I ride road and also trails. I have noticed more e-bikes on the trails also, though it doesn't appear the trail riders are using them to speed, appears more for use in getting up the hills. The ones I've seen on the paved MUP, going from MUP to trails, or back to their vehicle have been riding at normal pedaling speeds. So, while I agree that the capability could (should?) be limited on pavement, I'm at a loss when it comes to the mtn. e-bikes that may have to travel on some pavement to get to the trails, as the motor may need to be more powerful to get up the types of hills found on trails (personally-I can and do walk up the very steep ones). I'm the type that would like to see the rider act responsibly, rather than regulations, but unfortunately, we'll always have a few determined to cast dispersions on the many.
