I’m from a place where car safety rules are pretty strictly enforced and e-bike and e-scooter ones are not. As someone who almost exclusively walks and uses a non-electrical bike, and rarely a (shared) moped, I see MUCH more reckless behavior from people on bikes and scooters than people in cars. That is to say, having regulations and actually enforcing them does the trick. Id love to see it with e-bikes and scooters, so more people can feel safe on sidewalks and bike paths. Ive heard a lot of people say reckless electrical riders deter them from biking and walking more.
