Hi there
Can i just ask you, is my personal choice of wanting to go a bit faster than 18mph the same "illegal" as the cycling on the pavement "illegal", or is that a totally different "illegal"?
Also, can you please contact every major car manufacturers in the world and point out to them that they're products are illegal because they can all go faster then the "legal" speed limit.
The difference is that of different conditions. e-Cyclists are not tested for proficiency so the bikes themselves are limited to ensure a reasonable degree of safety in any hands. Car drivers are tested of course, so no vehicle limiting in lieu is necessary.

Please! spare me your righteousness.
I don't despise cyclists I've been one myself for 50 years, but I'm also a car driver and a pedestrian. The pavement should be a place of safety where every pedestrian young and old can relax and walk without fear of being hit by a wheeled vehicle.
Don't you think?
Hmmm.........:)
German cars are restricted to 155mph by german law. HGVs are restricted to 60mph by uk law. Mopeds are restricted to 30mph by uk law.

Which laws would you like?
