30kph is quite fast for a bicycle that heavy, and often heavier loaded than your average bike. For context, my average speed is little bit higher than 20kph when commuting on a bicycle, and I ride a lot.
100% agree with you on the bike lane issue
But if you attach a gasoline engine on a bicycle, it becomes a moped. I don’t see how that’s any different with electric motors
All e-bikes are limited to 25km/h by law here. If you stick a speedo (or GPS) on a bike and try to hold 25km/h on flat ground, you realise it’s actually quite a generous limit.
Limit ebike speeds to 30kph, about the same max a normal bike can do
Ensure well designed separates bicycle lanes are available everywhere
Apply same rules to bikes and ebikes

I’d get to 30 easily but yeah, I always pushed for speed. 20-25 should do just fine
