ABS by the way is absolutely a given for e bikes. It’s a mystery to me why it’s not already here especially on commuter e bikes. It’s proliferated on motorcycles, even small ones, where it’s not amazingly complicated and expensive, it’s just a $500 option, a dingus between the front caliper and lever and sensors that watch marks on the rotors. It prevents crashes. It’s not like a car where it just keeps you pointed straight and reduces distance. If you lock up the front tire of a bike in panic you are going to crash, either OTB or low side. If you have ABS you get all the braking the chassis can manage without crashing just by pulling the lever as hard as you can.
