I agree but technically to use the green lanes (which are actually still public roads) a vehicle must be road legal and that includes electric mountain bikes- so they cannot be derestricted to go over their legal maximum (powered) speed.
So as far as I can tell unless they are taxed, insured and meet UK construction and use criteria it's private ground only.
Doesn't stop them looking a load of fun with the right skills though.
