Probably not evidence-based at all knowing most laws in the country

I know there's a petition going around regarding boosting it to 20mph to match urban traffic speeds. Not sure I agree with that 100%. 25 kph is more than enough for off road and urban areas. There's nothing stopping you using your legs to go faster.
I find the 250w limit stranger, particularly when it to cargo bikes. Often need 750w to get up some of the hills in these parts with a load on. Not sure on how it's measured, legally, because the OEM motors are definitely putting out more than 250w at peak.

Is anyone aware of research on the 15.5mph ebike speed limit? Rationale from the DFT for example.
