This is what I see when looking at this topic. So much talk about dangerous ebikes, but in my area most of it is coming from anti-tax groups who are mad that a tiny portion of money went to paint a bike lane or fix a trail. So they blame bikes while they drive around hitting peds in their Excursions and F250s.
Can evokes be dangerous, yes. Are ebikes the pressing danger menacing our roadways, no. If we could keep full blown gas dirtbikes off multi-use paths and make a few cars stop at crosswalks, that would make a bigger impact than every ebike in the state disappearing overnight.
