Maybe it's because legislating for increase of speed on narrow and often crowded shared tracks in a densely-populated, heavily-trafficed country, would be, well, somewhat dangerous for all users?

You can buy Giant and Trek and Specialised e bikes in this country. Doesn’t seem to be any barriers to USA companies selling e bikes here.

I doubt there's a trade deal worth having anywhere that relies on increasing the speed restriction on e-bikes. What a bizarre post.

I was doing 40 mph the other day on my etrike.............down a steep hill and the motor had switched off some time earlier.

If you want an e moped go buy one.
Just one less obstacle.

Nooo, can't be having them going faster. My 'analogue' speed is over 15mph on flat gravel off road - fast enough to get away from the leccy lot. I'd never manage it if they could do 20.

Which exchange of trades, goods or tariffs do you have in mind that would hinge on the UK introducing a higher cut-off for e-bikes?
Must have been a steep hill .I was doing 40 mph the other day on my etrike.............down a steep hill and the motor had switched off some time earlier.
You are missing the point.
