I think even local municipalities can at least to some degree but states definitely have rules which vary a bit, most are pretty close to the federal guidelines (i.e. class 1-3)
Not that im aware of. There is a speed limit for motorized scooters (15mph).
Ebikes is currently in this weird zone where its not regulated like a electric scooter, nor regulated like a vespa (requires motorbike license to legally drive) and fall under motorcycle laws.
We were talking about this the other day on r/Ebikes and it turns out each state has their own regulations but only 5 of them regard ebikes as “motor vehicles”.
Does the state have power and speed limits for e-bikes?

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see why not as long as it doesn’t conflict with federal laws: They can impose speed limits on cars.
