  IMO e-bikes are not safe for young kids to be riding without supervision.

  Highschool, sure. But i did see a kid (probably twelve to fourteen) smash into the side of a cyber truck (to be clear the CT was stopped at a stop sign. Kid hit them blasting around a blind corner.)

  The kid was only going 25 or so, but that’s fast enough, and from what I saw if he lives, it’s going to have a new normal.

    Pedal assist ebikes, for high school age, 20 mph cap. Throttle control ebike should be banned imo.
