If people wanted to go faster even if the motor was limited, couldn't they just pedal faster anyways? 20mph on a regular bicycle is pretty achievable even by a novice.

That is definitely not the case, there are many well established, reputable ebike makers (Trek, Specialized, Fuji, Cube, Tern, etc.) but the bikes you linked aren't.

Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production ( newatlas.com )

No, you shouldn't but it is what it is at least for now. Maybe one day we'll see some legislation that helps stop landlords from arbitrarily banning stuff like that.

We'll see, I think the industry will eventually get to the point where batteries just don't catch on fire anymore because they switch to a more stable medium and improve on design flaws, reliability, and overall durability. It will take time and there will likely be hold-overs but we'll get there one day (and in the meantime, even regular bicycles are still pretty fucking awesome).

Those are good points, I wouldn't put it past a lot of these companies to pull shady shit given the opportunity to make more money.
