Comment on E-bike rules in Australia will soon change with possible ban on sale of bikes faster than 25km/h

If the bike is speed limited and the power tapers off with speed, why have a power cap at all? More power just means that they get up to speed quicker, which is a good thing in traffic, particularly when loaded up.
I go quite a bit faster (on the flat) on my acoustic bike, are they proposing a ban on me pedaling too hard?

Power cap is still useful to limit acceleration to safe levels and to minimise the level of danger if the motor gets de-regulated.
