The Kwest don't seem to mind the speed (about 1500km so far).
The Schwalbe Big Apple tire is the best tire for e-bikes. I've spent over $500 trying various tires for my 30+ mph e-bike. None have come close to the performance of the Big Apple tire. I am also using an inner tube liner and extra thick inner tubes just to be safe.
