Limiting power and top speed is futile. You can actually enforce speed limits with radar, but checking power output requires testing it on a dyno, which can easily be cheated with a switch or remote.
Half of ebikes for sale are technically street illegal anyway. Federal law limits them to 750w 28mph until pedal assisted... while some stick to this, they can do 2kw burst and cruise at 750w sustained. Some just flat out ignore it and pull 5-7kw off the shelf. Some conversions pull 15kw and do 80 mph.
Here's a regular looking SCOOTER that does 75mph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-IqhezeZw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-IqhezeZw
