Your representatives have made the determination. Complain if you wish but the matter has been decided, quite recently at that.
Time to move on and complain about dog poop or lack a a Costco.

E-bikes limit their own top speed to conform to different legal standards. Canada is lower (I believe) than the US. But, the top speed is never higher than a pedaled bike can go. The advantage is that the rider can rest on steep uphills and can travel further distances on the level by resting sometimes. It seems to work better with older riders who like to still cover long distances like they did by pedal power alone when they were younger.
