    Power is irrelevant. Pedestrian crash severity = speed² × shape impacting human head

    And in bikes, power and if existant, motorization is what determines speed.

        If you’re relying on GPS speed limiting, you’ve already failed at designing a safe roadway. It’s a bandaid at best. Besides, how are you supposed to enforce the usage of GPS speed limiting on every bike? Regular bikes are just as capable of significantly exceeding, say, a 15mph (25kph) speed limit as e-bikes. It doesn’t make sense technically, logistically, or politically in the vast majority of places.
