I guessed the same Ian, but in an electric bike report, I expect the references to be in that context, so street legal throughout Europe means 15.5 mph pedelec, not referring to motor vehicles. Agreeing with all above, I think there's much that's sloppy and to mistrust about the whole report, a wasted opportunity.
The main value for me is the added detail on certain bikes, odd facts that are difficult to come across normally, but their performance data I treat with suspicion. Their use of up to 6% hills in particular is laughable. For me hills only begin at 10%, anything below that is just a slope.
