The average rider isnt able to go 25mph on flat ground. A brand new rider who just purchased a new bike and has no prior experience with proper bike etiquette will find it basically impossible to go 25mph without a decent hill.
Which is just a long way of saying that cutting off a motor at 20 mph isnt a crazy concept. In Europe it’s common to have a top speed of 20-25kmh or 12-15 mph as that is a more typical speed of an inexperienced cyclist in a city environment
Uh, bikes without electric motors can go faster than 25MPH.
