Excellent video Jeff and thanks for sharing. I think this is a more prominent issue in metros. I see E-Bikes all over the place here in SoCal and they almost matched the number of cars on the road when I was last in SF.

I think Fortnine outlines it easily, that "Any geriatric or pre-pubescent can hop on one and go...", at 30+ Kph. No training, no education, just treat it like a bike and roll on that throttle. Take the carelessness of your average bicycle weenie, then give them roll-on throttle. It's like twice the entitlement with half the awareness needed.
