Why not just add speed limits to areas where higher speeds are an issue? That's been the approach to cars -- no car is limited to 140 kmh despite speeds above that are illegal pretty much everywhere...

Regular bikes can easily go above 15 mph as well, so why should this only affect e-bikes?

    ebikes are frequently heavier and are frequently ridden on sidewalks in NYC.
