As an avid cyclist I am not a fan of those e-bikes. People who haven't been on a bike in years, or decades, get on and slam the throttle down having no idea of the dangers. Going down at even 20 MPH can cause serious injuries.
I've hit 45 MPH on my Cervelo and it's pretty darn scary, especially on 23 mm wheels, the smallest pothole or bump in the road will send you flying. I remember reading that cycling is the number one sport for concussions.
Even worse than those things are the gas powered scooters - I see guys flying down the road at 25-30 MPH and im thinking to my self, it's only a matter of time.
