Good question. I'm running with all default out-of-the-box settings. If there is a way to increase max speed limit (without fudging wheel size) for sure let me know. Cheers...

Same here. I'm interested in comparing bikes on the Canadian market. The Rad Mini, to me, is ideal, so far. The big tires, front shocks and low CG are custom-made for our winter-chewed-up roads, bike lanes, and bumpy bike paths. But I've got strong legs from decades of regular cycling, so the slope assist I get is plenty, plus slowing down for hills is something I take for granted. That said, I'm still getting used to the bike topping out at speeds lower than I would hit on my roadie, on the flat. But patience mitigates road rash, so there's that. And a higher watt motor won't change the top speed anyway, on flat ground.

Could you then point me to those bikes that you preferred, out of interest?
Have you tried setting the top speed to the max? It won't do anything on a slope but on flat it's nice to get a few more km/h from the bike.
It should be the steps from this link, post 4:

I've set my wagon from 32 to 40. It hardly ever reaches it but I get a few km/h quicker.
