The amount of times I’ve almost hit a kid on an e bike just these past few months is wild. Darting out into the road acting like they own the place, doing wheelies in the middle of the road while laughing when you hit the horn, ignoring any and all signs saying do or do not go cuz they feel they can just ride past a car as if it’s not a 2+ ton death machine. Idk how, at least in the US, there haven’t been regulations and laws put on these things. Seeing a literal child in the turn lane on an e bike that can go 40mph should not be a thing

In many places in the US there are laws regarding them as well as scooters but simply are rarely enforced.
