There was a nyt article a while back about the increased incidence of teenagers being seriously harmed while riding ebikes. The gist of it was with the class 3 bike they were spending more time at higher speeds, on unsafe roads, and making the usual poor teenager decisions.
I didn’t come away from the article feeling like teenagers shouldn’t get ebikes, but that there needs to be education about safe ridership. When you start consistently going as fast as a motorcycle, you need to start taking safety gear seriously.
