Why not?

We have a TON of ebikes i Norway and the cops regularly do checkpoints of suspected chippers in the main commute routes.

They have a little threadmill thing similar to what chiptuners use when tuning car engines that measure torque, watt and top speed.

Paying cops to run a checkpoint and dyno test bikes?!! That seems like a huge waste of government resources unless the goal is to save money on other enforcement areas by instilling a message of "don't you dare goose step an inch out of line, we're watching". I suspect it's more about pandering to police supporting demographics and looking busy than it is about enforcing anything.

What a weird outlook.

For me its more «I am happy that the police removes dangerous uninsurable vehicles from the road»

Might be tamed by asset (vehicle here) forfeiture provision in some of the stricter European countries for when you do worse than just minor speeding: get caught e.g. street racing and now the state auctions off your vehicle, without you seeing a cent.
