People hurt themselves on E-Bikes, I can see it being a fad when people realise it's a relatively dangerous way of travelling.

In the EU ebikes are quite limited. If you're going to hurt yourself at 17mph on an ebike a normal bike isn't going to safe either, as soon as you go down a hill. American ebikes seem to be crazy powerful.
People hurt the planet with cars, I can see it being a fad when people realize it's a relatively dangerous way of traveling.
People also hurt other people with cars. What was it again? You are more likely to die from a car accident than in an airliner?
