I haven't encountered anyone operating an ebike faster than 20 mph on a path, and I ride some crowded uran paths and secluded rural ones and pretty much everything in-between. Where it's a problem, it should be dealt with.
I have seen two very heavy cargo ebikes running 20 mph on the Minuteman. That could definitely turn into a problem, but I haven't seen that outside of two occasions last year.
I see people riding all sorts of vehicles including bicycles in a manner that is inappropriate for the environment they're riding in. Not sure what your point is there, or why you're talking about illegal use of gas-powered bikes on bike paths.
