It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So... after reading the article, i think that this is an even better idea than i thought before i had read it! Very interesting and good initiative by the city when fast ebikes stop people from using bikes all together!
My original comment:
Increasing speed will very rarelly save you from an accident. Slowing down, or braking will.
If in any case you need to move away from something combing at you, a higher top speed will not help you. Acceleration will though and ebikes still have that.
If you're going full speed, more speed will not get you away from a truck moving towards you. You're much better off stopping or slowing down or even turning
