Cars still have to abide by speed limits, which can be enforced because they have licenseplates.
If ebikes had license plates, we could enforce speed limits on them the same way as cars, rather than a hard limit by design.

No it's not, unless you have some study to back it up because it's not my experience.
(edit: just to be clear, the spirit of this comment is not to dismiss anything that isn't backed by studies, sometimes simple observation of the world around us is enough to reach solid conclusions, but I disagree that speed limits aren't respected and enforced. Could depend on where you live as well.)

I bet politicians are already talking about it though? Fees/fines are the polite way of taxing.
I forgot to pay by registration this year. I got the smog, and tags. Gov. Neusome was nice enough to give a two month grace period.
I got another registration in the mail, and thought it was a mistake.
My regulation is 148. The late fee was $69 dollars. That should be unserious?
I never even notice how high DMV late fees are because I always paid on time.
My point is we do not need to muck up a great electric movement with a bunch of laws that are backed up by high fees.
otherwise it's usually a he-said-she-said situation.
note: dashcams (for cyclists) aren't legal (or at least legal gray area afaik) in my country for privacy reasons.
