This is in Western Australia; the only issue I have with ebikes and scooters is that while most people are pretty sensible, a fair few people still ride them recklessly when on footpaths: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-15/warning-issued-to-escooter-riders-in-perth/101242834
I used to work with a lycra lad who bragged about how he once ran a guy over and “got away with it” like it was an accomplishment. He was also the type who would blast through pedestrian crossings on a red light at full speed.
His whole identity was built around cycling and he was ironically the worst example of a shitty cyclist.
