I don't see why a 45km/h bike shouldn't be allowed to use a cycle lane, that's not any faster than a lot of people ride anyway.

Coming from a mainly utlity cycling perspective (which is where I see the majority of ebikes being used as well), this just seems absurd - 45km/h is way more in line with general motorized traffic speeds (usually 50 km/h in Switzerland). Purely anecdotal, but people without motor assistance are often even slower than the 25km/h ebikes.

Yes, that comparison is completely absurd, just because a few people can cycle at 45km/h sometimes is really no reason to allow motorbikes in the same space that can do that speed sustained and under almost any condition.
