I'm not a fan of speed. Want speed, just buy a motorcycle (I have a few).
But being well past the 1/2 century mark, I like e-bikeing to extend my range and help on some short grades. Eco mode and splitting the input required is great. I'm riding and pedaling and going less than 20'ish. But I'm hauling the groceries and getting home in less than an hour.
Our bike routes are jarring enough w/o big speed. Uneven surfaces abound
At my age, getting off hard at speed is prolly a no-come-back ... Just use common sense

I have been on ebikes such as the Cannondale commuter and it tops out at over 20. I had it up to 22mph and quit. Hardly required effort at that speed. This is a mid-drive bike and probably will out pace a hub drive. The hub drive bikes I have ridden limit out at 15-17mph. Something to do with heat in the motor and euro regulations.

Moto-doping already exists.
We've had a few people busted in national competitions.

If you want to go over 20mph, you just have to spend the money. There's an old dude in my area with a Juiced CrossCurrent X, who just zips around the neighborhood snagging KOMs all day long. Uphill at 25mph? No problem. I have to flag at least one of his rides a week as "wrong activity type."
The funny part is, I would think it would be faster than it actually is when going downhill-- it has a motor and it weighs 60lbs. But nope. His speed up the hill is usually 2-3mph faster than down. Maybe he coasts?

There’s a little drop-down menu for Strava activities, and E-Bike Ride is like the 3rd one down. So it’s just laziness. Or wanting to be on leaderboards that they have no business being on.

High tech nano machines are the next step , programned to give accurate bio data , make the user's cardio system more efficiant that naturally possible , even slow heart rate and capture oxygen .
Most likey is already being used , and they can dissolve themselves when done .

Just need that big cash settlement to come in - or my first heart attack...
