The difference is with an ebike everyone can get up to that speed, you and your friend on the other hand is trained to be that fast. Also 33kmph± average isn't really a norm, it's usually around 16kmph - 18kmph, so you're the outlier. The limitation is not on how fast you travel with your bike, it's how fast the ebike is capable of going without effort from the rider.

It's not really that hard to understand the nuance.
