    The US is not the world. Older folks here usually don’t have eBikes. It’s teenagers and folks in their early 20s with fat tire bikes going super fast. Some folks commute with eBikes, but most people other than teenagers don’t go especially fast on bikes unless they’re wearing helmets and spandex.

      I also see significantly more “older” people on ebikes riding a reasonable pace where I live (Denmark) than young people going super fast. Here ebikes definitely seem to me like it’s something that primarily people aged 40-50+ use.
