    I think this is my biggest issue with ebikes.

    People will be riding down the mixed use pedestrian/bike pathway on what looks like a bike, going 45mph next to the road with a 35mph speedlimit without peddaling.

    I think there needs to be some regulation that makes it more visually apparent what is an electric bike and what is an electric motorcycle.

      Much as I hate to say it, problems like this have a way of solving themselves. The unfortunate thing is they usually take some innocent bystander down with them.

        Call me crazy, but maybe we should try to solve obvious problems before people are injured/maimed/killed.
