Can, but more important thing is the weight. While lightweight bicycles can easily exceed 25km/h (and I personally can reach 40km/h with mine), they're usually much lighter, obviously. This comes with a noticeable difference in the impact itself. You could argue they're more stable or have better brakes, but people are just more irresponsible with them. I can bet my left ball on the fact that statistically ebikes crash more often than non-ebikes (per capita) and the crashes are almost always more severe

> they're usually much lighter, obviously Sure. But if the combined weight of rider and bike is around 100kg and that rises to 115kg for an electric, then that's not a *huge* difference.
