Nobody wants to get hit by a 200 lb person, or a 200 lb bike, or a 200 pound person on a 200 lb mobility scooter on a sidewalk. The same danger exists if you are hit by a speeding car on scooter style e-bike, an open frame e-bike or a regular bike. My 135 lb scooter style is not a threat to pedestrians or other cyclists, no more than a bicylcle on a sidewalk is a threat to a small child. Automobiles are the threat to us all. There are thousands on the road here in Ontario and even more in BC, and collisions with pedestrians and other cylclists are certainly not common or heard about.
