One of the things to keep in mind when trying to go faster is that above about 17mph, most of your energy is going in to pushing wind. Each successive MPH is going to take a lot more power than the last. So, getting from 17-18 MPH way easier than pushing from 24-25 MPH. You can certainly get there, but it might take a while to eek out those last few MPH.
