Difference in manufacturer speed cutoff points

Also, as well.

In the UK we are of course currently limited to a 25kph cutoff speed (15.5mph). However anecdotal evidence in this forum indicates some manufacturers have allowed a little leeway in their legal bikes. For example JohnCade mentions that his Kalkhoff cuts off smoothly at about 17.3mph whilst EddiePJ said the KTM eCross P cuts off if anything a bit too soon (on that particular bike) whereas his BH has a bit of overrun. I wonder if the differences are purely down to the drivetrain manufacturer (so all Bosch performance line would be the same for example) or if some other factors come in to bear.

So at what speeds are people experiencing the cutoff, and is it a complete cessation of assistance above that?

I have a kalkhoff tasmann that cuts of at exactly 28.8km/h (and I wish it didn't)
