Not really arguing your point, but clarifying something. I have 2 scooters (one of which appears on your list of fastest scooters). These are simple machines. At least on my two, the speed caps don't take feedback from the speedometer itself. It seems to just cap the amount of electricity the motor sees. So a 60lb child will see 25kph on a escooter "speed capped" at 20. Haven't tested thoroughly on the Lime, but the 1 time I let my kid try it, she was already at 22 when I told her to stop (I normally limit her to 15kph - love the Gotrax GXL for kids).
