It’s much more difficult to reach and sustain 30 mph on a pedal bike, and if you’re doing that you’re typically quite invested in it. E-bikes on the other hand it’s really easy to get to a very high speed, and I frequently see people doing it while on their phone, without wearing a helmet, and/or with additional passengers.
I think a little bit of education here could go a long way.
I was more focused on the “without helmet, looking at phone” part. As a parent, it should be no surprise for them if their children end up with permanent brain damage if neglecting security completely.
I mean this is easy to say about everything. If people are annoyed at car accidents, they should teach their children to drive cars better rather than whine about it!
At some point we do decide it’s society’s collective responsibility to ensure that something is safe, understanding that maybe not all parents will rise to the level of quality we expect. I think we’re there for ebikes.

Then the worried parents should either properly educate their children about their safety behaviour, not whine about it.
