I totally agree. I have a legal ebike and make sure I'm safe and within the law. I don't want to risk my driving license, or injuring anybody.

Ebikes are generally a lot heavier than a normal push bikes. The stopping distance is terrible especially down a hill. If I were to go at high speeds on it then it would be very dangerous. I should think top-end ebike have good brakes but most of the cheaper one, such as mine, do not. I am keen on upgrading the brakes though.
