I wasn't trying to generalise eBikes, though I can see how it could be read that way - sorry.
As a daily commuter, I see people flying along even faster than me sometimes, who clearly are not good on two wheels. It's absolutely a subset of eBike/eScooter riders.
Look at this bloke:
- He isn't wearing a helmet.
- Every time he's pedaling, he's zig-zagging. Yes, you'll always get a bit of that, but he's not syncing his arms with the pedals to smooth the line.
- He cruises right in front of traffic - because he'd have stepped out there as a pedestrian and isn't treating the bike differently.
- He's defaulting to the footpath because he's used to that, not realising that sticking to the road is more efficient.
- He then rides straight into the middle of the road trying to cross back, he probably always intended to stop in the middle as he did, because that's how he'd cross as a pedestrian - but again that's not how cyclists move and the honking car agrees.
- He tries to overtake on a bloody roundabout where there clearly isn't enough road for that.
- Finally when he catches up, he takes his eyes off the damn road like a pedestrian.
When people ask me about getting an eBike, I advise them to get back on a normal bike for a few weeks first, because you do won't suddenly be a competent cyclist on your new eBike. And starting out at 30+ km/h is too fast to learn those lessons.
