I completely agree with all of this but I ride a cargo bike all day every day for work and increasing the limit would definitely make my job quicker and easier!
Really? in London? I rode a leg-powered cargo bike around for work for 5 years, and only ever really felt under-powered with big loads, and I don't think I was that slow.
There aren't all that many scenarios in London where I'd feel comfortable travelling much faster than 25 kph for a prolonged period, on a big heavy bike: call me paranoid, but there's just too many black cabs ready to pull a u-turn with no warning, or tourists stepping off kerbs looking the wrong way.

So I am not sure really what I want, possibly different limits for people who are using them for work and could be given proper training. But that's a bit of a can of worms to be honest and I am never really in favour of extra laws/bureaucracy when it comes to cycling.
