i've got good legs and can usually do that with my non-electric 2-speed road bike, even though i observe all red lights and other traffic rules. the only downside is i get slightly sweaty and have to change at the office, which adds ~5 minutes to my 20 minute bike commute. ... which takes about 2/3s of the time public transport takes, which is, again, probably slightly faster than driving to office (without counting the time it'd take to find a parking spot, which would probably double the commute). interestingly, for me, riding at a relaxed pace is pretty much as fast as going as fast as possible, as red light luck is such a big factor.
