Not really - I’m going 25km/h if I’m pedaling and I would go 25km/h with a throttle. And bike manufacturers fitting underpowered brakes on eBikes is an issue for another regulation?
And how many time you reach 25 km/h while pedaling and how many time you reach 25 km/h with a throttle ?
Have you ever ridden an eBike? It’s totally easy to reach 25km/h by pedalling. It’s also possible to reach that speed (and to go over that) on a normal bicycle without a motor
I reach it every time. You do not need much pedal assist to reach the max. And if I’m on my road bike without a motor, I’m even faster. And I communte by bicycle and can tell you: 25km/h is the default speed for eBikes
Yes, exactly this is what makes e-bikes so unpredictable in traffic. While a normal biker is unlikely to bing 350 W onto the street every time they start, it’s a piece of cake with an e-bike. Additionally, as e-bikes legally count as regular bikes, they are subject to the same slack safety standards and e-bike manufacturers regularly have been criticised e.g. by Stiftung Warentest for failing components.

If they become a danger to the others then yes.

Yes.
I didn’t ask if it is possible but how many times you reach that speed while pedaling versus how many time you reach it using the throttle.
