Keep the regulations on e-bikes simple. Because these bikes are motorized, they must be operated on the street only. Isn’t that why we have more bike lanes?
I seem to remember all bikes are required to have a horn or bell to warn pedestrians. Also, children and less- experienced riders are urged to get off their bike and walk it across the street in a designated crosswalk.
Perhaps e-bike owners should follow the same regulations as mopeds on the street. The proposed e-bike rules most likely will not keep our riders and children safe.
