Class 2 and 3 (throttle-controlled) e-bikes are scooters, basically lightweight Vespas, and should be treated as such (licensed, not allowed on bike trails).
Now that I’m paying attention, though, I notice that there’s a huge number of class 1 / pedelec (ie pedal assist only) bikes on the road. You just don’t notice them because they’re not obnoxious.
