I would contest the statement that the speeds are comparable. On an e-bike it takes no effort to travel at the maximum speed of e.g. 32km/h. For an urban cyclist, 32km/h is a pretty hard speed even for the fastest riders, and many cyclists travel much slower in order to keep themselves below the 'sweating and panting' threshold. This creates some problems because e-bike drivers are often passing cyclists, and they are not always doing so safely. The small difference in speed is actually still a big problem because of the behaviours it encourages.
