context: It's an engineering problem, cars have to move more mass and weight, have more powerful engines, and in general more moving parts. Such a thing could be done but would likely take far more time effort and energy than would be desired. Also bikes are viewed more as toys than vehicles so it's easier to get people to agree to put such limiters on them >
  
  So, let me get this straight.  E-bikes are going to have a limiter that means they literally  cannot go above a certain speed (no matter whether or not their riders want to go faster), and that depends on where the e-bike is?
  And you are saying it should be done for cars?

  I'm game.  
  In fact, I think this will probably be one of the biggest reason self-driving cars aren't as big as some people think, because I am pretty sure they will follow the speed limits posted. So, you can either speed, or you can have your car drive you somewhere without you needing to give input at the posted limit. >
  
  Im confused so u can drive 160 in a school zone, but if u have an e-bike u can't? >
  
  You can carry cigarettes and just not smoke in certain areas. >
  
  What if I drive it on the street but also a race track? >
  
  Yep, love it. 
  Now just try to convince the conservatives that the government should decide for them… >
  
  You do understand how speed limits, and laws in general, work, right?
  You can have a car, but you have to obey speed limits.  Just because the car can physically achieve speeds over the speed limit doesn’t mean you can legally drive that fast.
  “You can’t legally drive 160mph so why should you have a machine that lets you do that” 
  That’s like saying you can’t legally stab people, so why should you own a knife? >
  
  I wouldn't say those two are comparable. There's only one thing you can do with a speed limit, a knife has many applications. >
  
  And that is why I will never spend $60k for a new vehicle. >
  
  Id rather have an e-bike speeding than a car speeding if the ebike crashes means less chance for casualties >
  
  Great, more government intervention. Because we don't have enough of that.
