All I ask is that the bike lanes and paths don't get inundated with motorized bikes that are substantially faster and heavier than pedaled bikes.
I can’t speak for other brands but my wife’s Trek ebike is not faster than me. It tops out at 20 and can’t keep up with me. It’s not moped heavy, it’s more like a steel frame huffy from the 70s.
