I have exactly the same issue. Have you managed to find a way around it? I find it hard to explain to police why the motor is still running when it passes 15mph maximum speed limit.
When riding, pedal assistance on my BBS01B conversion stops abruptly at 25kph, which can be hard on the old knees if unprepared: Change "Stop Delay" and Stop Decay" parameters if you want a similarly unpleasant cease of assistance experiences:

I very much doubt the police are testing pedal assist top speed, with the driven wheel raised off the ground... but if they ever do, simply reduce speed limit to 10kph, or whatever speed tests relevant, for absolute certaintude of stress-free legal pedelecing? Although riding your bike would become a miserable experience, this would be offset by reduced police fear levels. What the resultant despair managed this way may be, varies with the individual. I'd certainly feel deep despair pedelecing at 10kph, such much be managed lest it overwhelm - we must strive against all odds to find silver linings in every situation, while knowing full well it's dark before things go completely black.
