Said literally nobody. 15mph is plenty fast for getting around :) The more important part is making biking more attractive by building better infrastructure for it and actively restricting car traffic by slowing it down or diverting it out of cities.
So limit cars to 15 mph. I’m down.
Or do you just hate bikes?
I like being alive and not being rammed by a 200kg combination of e-bike + human at speeds higher than 25kmh while riding my bike to work.
I like not being rammed by 2-10 tons of steel and lithium while i cross the street. Yeah. Lets limit cars to 15mph.
If you don’t do that, but do limit ebikes, you’re just an auto industry shill.
And you’re a troll, this isn’t a zero sum game, making bikes safe matters, you complete weirdo.
But making cars safe doesnt.
So you’re just incentivizing a much more dangerous behavior. You are the problem.
In a city with buses, subways, ferries, light rail… Shut up.
Oh so there are no cars?

“drat my bike won’t go at unreasonable speeds, my only solution must be abandoning my still perfectly functional bike and laying down several grand on the single least practical means of transportation in the city. What’s a MetroCard?”
Shut. Up.
Whataboutism
No. It would be like getting on a half pipe with knee pads but no helmet.
