From the coverage that I read in my national newspaper (which admittedly isn’t Slovakian) the speed limit applies to everyone on the sidewalk. Not just to e-bikes and e-scooters, but also to pedestrians.
The speed limit is set to 6 km/h. Joggers and people making a sprint to catch a bus, would easily be breaking that speed limit.
Bad headline.
It’s about speed limits for electric bikes/scooters to protect pedestrians.

My regular walking speed is 8km/h… when I run distances it’s ~13km/h, and if I’m sprinting it can be over 20km/h.
They’re essentially saying the speed limit is set to swimming pool deck speeds.
