How Often And How Long Are Class 3 E-Bikes Traveling At More Than 20 MPH?

As the debates continue in many places about e-motos and Class 1, 2, and 3 e bikes it made me wonder:

How often and how long are Class 3 e-bikes traveling at more than 20 MPH?

My wife and I have a Gazelle Ultimate C380+. They are Class 3 e-bikes. Despite that, we are often pedaling under 20 MPH.

For those of you here with Class 3 e-bikes, what is your experience?

The speed limit on the rail trails close to me is 15mph. I routinely ride my Class 3 over 20mph to pass Class 1/2 bikes, and when the trail is open. I will slow to around 15mph, and often much less, around kids, families, and dogs.

I rarely go much over 21-22 mph on level ground. Downhill I'll go faster if appropriate, there's one hill near my house where I can reach 28 or more if I push it. On the mixed use trails around my home (mostly old woods roads) I'm rarely going more than 10-15.
