I'm dealing with an hydraulic fluid leak so not complex but I was amazed
if not astounded at the whole thing.

Does it require a driver's licence, lights, insurance and a tag? It
should.

As we've discussed, the technology and products are way
ahead of the culture, policy, statutes and ordinances. The
whole area is shades of grey and enforcement of present laws
is mostly out to lunch.

"this bike doesnrCOt just accelerate; it launches like a bullet"
Takes me back to a Paris experience with my wife. We were walking
from the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe (sp) and started down
the Champs. Having watched many TdF finishes, I got the bright
idea we ought to rent e-bikes and do a lap ourselves. First
timers, he hopped on, and were immediately terrified by the
unexpected acceleration as soon as we so much as started them. In
fact, Kathy took a spill, so we quickly abandoned my not so bright
idea.

I agree!

Sadly, this is probably of the domain that requires some kind of
tragedy before greater coherence is applied.

Does depend on the e bike, certainly if it has torque sensor
should give a much more measured response after all power is
nothing without control, and E MTB need control for technical
climbs just booting it into turbo works on fire roads but not
there!
Generally itrCOs cheaper/older bikes without a torque sensor that
will surge.
IrCOm guessing not within last few years? As IrCOd expect most hire
e bikes to have torque sensors now as it gives a much smoother
ride, and folks are riding the last mile or so not tearing up
the road in such bikes, I pass them quite comfortably on the
roadie, as they top out at 15 ish mph and while itrCOs possible
to pedal them beyond that would need to be bit of beast to do
so!

Actually, it was just last fall (heh). It could have been due
entirely to our lack of any experience with such things.

My wife rented an E bike in Arles last week, and she very quickly
decided she'd switch off the electric for 80% of the journey because it
was very hard to ride at the speed she wanted to ride (last half hour
into head wind, the power helped both her and slip-streaming me).
