I think E Bikes are amazing, but people don't seem to take their speed seriously enough in my area. Those things absolutely crank, and people seem to have no concept of their potential danger to themselves, pedestals or other motorists. Nearly 30 mph isn't a joke, and they seem to ride on the sidewalks here rather than the roads.
