    They aren’t limited to 25kph. That’s just when the electric boost stops. You could easily go 50-60kph downhill like a regular bike.

      Like you say, downhill it’s the same. but on average it’s going to be slower because it’s speed limited, so it’s not fair to say ebikes are faster by any measure.

        The point is you can still easily go as fast as any road bike…
