What's this got to do with the price of tea in China? Not once anywhere have I seen someone claiming 20mph speeds powered by meat motor. Where are you coming up with that?

That's the speed most ebikes go to. My claim is that the risk for ebikes is higher than regular bikes because the average speed of ebike riders is higher.

Also, completely aside, 20mph on a regular bike is totally doable, just exhausting. Like running 10mph, most active people can do it pretty easily, but only in short spurts.
