Just riding fast doesn't take experience. In fact, many experienced riders I know ride fast only where and when it's safe to do so.

There are a lot of people who depend on e-bikes to get around - parents who need to carry their kids around, people with knee issues who otherwise wouldn't be able to ride up the hill, etc. I know those people. They're not safety hazards to others.
