E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

First impression:

Wow, that's crazy, let's get these things off the road. Won't someone think of the children?!

Second impression:

The fact that we have a 'ebikes rampaging toronto streets thread', but it took 7 years and 300+ replies before the thread saw any actual "rampaging", and that the rampaging wasn't even in Toronto, and that the rampaging that wasn't even in Toronto wasn't even on an ebike, kind of makes the point that ebike rampaging in Toronto really isn't a problem.

And I say this as a Toronto resident who drives for a good portion of my income...
Even though more crazy and everywhere in East downtown....I found we all have worked out a way of accommodating each other...
They ride in the bike lanes and sidewalks and stay out of my way.
They ride across crosswalk/intersections ...keeping out of my turning intersection.
I no longer make deliveries so do not need to park on street in bike lanes , which were previously driving/parking lanes to get people their essential deliveries or picking them up and drop off.
Many do not have lights in the dark...but usually know to swerve out of my way.

Different demograph than the original DUI type rough and ready Rampagers...the type that stole my Helmet and winter gloves off my bike and patrol the neighborhoods looking for opportunity to steal
