E-bikes aren't allowed to exceed posted speed limits. There are 3 different classes of e-bikes. A class 3 e-bike can legally be set to go up to 28mph. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes can legally be set to go no higher than 20mph. All e-bikes are required to obey posted speed limits.

If they CAN go faster, they're set incorrectly - whether intentional or not. It might never be enforced UNLESS one of them causes an accident.

The speed limits apply to bicycles too by the way. If a non-motorized bike is going over the speed limit and causes an accident, they might be held liable for damages. It's definitely possible to go over 20mph on a bicycle.
