As a regular rider of a non-ebike, I like the restrictions. It's unnerving to be passed by a silent 25mph (40kph) unlit e-bike on a trail at night. 25kph sounds more reasonable, about the same speed a typical human can bike on a flat road.

Easing the restrictions too much results in near-motorbike performance in trails and bike lanes shared with human powered riders.
