As for the ticket being valid without having instrumentation, try gettng caught doing 80mph in a car and blame it on no speedo.

I think it's different since I believe speedometers are required by law on cars (or at least standard equipment) but there are plenty of hybrid and electric bikes, as well as just normal bikes, that do not have speedometers.

Since the restriction is only for level surfaces, add a sensor to limit it only on level surfaces.
