We have similar laws in America, but they're not as strict. Ours can go 35km/h (or 22 mph) before it gets called a Class B e-bike, which you need a driver's license for and can't go on bike paths/trails.

Do you need a license plate and (I suppose, depending on the state) a helmet for those bikes as well?

No license or helmet required afaik, although I always wear mine. Thing goes fast and my skull doesn't like concrete so much.
