Maybe? It depends on what the speed limit is and what enforcement looks like.

I can get up to 20mph (30+ kmh) on my non-assist bite, faster when going downhill, yet most people cruise at 10-15 mph. If we set it too low, it'll discourage use for regular transportation, like commuting, and if we set it too high, it doesn't solve the problem.

And for enforcement, there's no way police will be stationed there, and camera surveillance is difficult, so it's unlikely to happen.

I just see the whole thing as problematic, so either don't enforce anything or enforce vehicle types.
