Do the police actually speedcheck you? It's also 20km/h maximum in Sweden, but the police haven't stopped me yet when I routinely go 35+ for many years now.
Driving faster would mean unlocking it which means it's not street-legal any more which isn't much of a fine, 70 Euros, but it also means that the insurance is invalid which means up to one year prison/fine and might cost you your driving license.
They really went all-in on the insurance thing because apparently people behave like pedestrians with the thing, but at bicycle speeds and above which isn't a good mix.
The police here caught a guy going 70km/h on a heavily "optimized" scooter recently. He admitted that he didn't know how fast he went, as the speed indicator only goes up to a speed of 30km/h.
