From what I've seen on the streets, people bypassing the restrictions will not, and there will be injuries.

You only notice the ones that aren't safe.
How would you know if someone bypassed the restrictions if they were riding it safely?
Scooters just don't have the geometry to ride fast safely, they are incredibly prone to flicking the front wheel out and chucking the rider on the ground. The only way they can be ridden safely is riding relatively slowly.
"Hasn't crashed yet" is different to "safely"
Because if they are riding it safely, there would be no need to bypass the restrictions.
There is reason for speed limits, they are not there to f--k with people for fun.
You can remove the speed limit of a vehicle for when you want to have fun on a closed course. You don't have to always go over the factory limit.
That implies that speed itself is unsafe. Which it is not. Airplanes go some 500 mph and mostly don't kill people.
