Electric bikes are very prevalent (and becoming even more so) in the EU. Could an e-bike profile be added to OSRM to accommodate this? I'm not aware of all the intricacies of OSRM profiles, and so I'm not sure whether a bike profile simply having a higher maximum speed will suffice.

Due to lack of permissions, I was not allowed to open the earlier ticket: https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/6193. I feel that the previous ticket was misinterpreted and subsequently got no attention, but the wish still very much exists (and has become larger in the meanwhile).
