@KPEN, Not trying to provoke , but I seldom see folks "trying to beat a storm", mostly just clowning.
That's the case for speed limiting cars as a safety measure, as well.
Yeah, it's gonna keep you from beating out the T-Rex in your rearview mirror, but the aggregate safety is increased.
Biking is about respecting the slower moving , cars vs bikes and pedestrians, and biasing towards the slower for a true net safety gain.
I am personally biased towards controlability and low speed assists in ebikes, but that starts debates that prevents compromises needed for integration.
Self control cannot be assumed in a lot of situations.
