It’s unfair to consider electric bikes as most bike lanes are explicitly not designed for them.

Where do you get this information? Sure they can go faster, but most folks here are decent about things and they sure help going uphill. It means more people can use the bike lanes - notably, people without the strength to go uphill.

an 8 year old is not too young to travel on their own to limited places. If your bike lanes are actually safe, it is safe for them. And realistically, most places let actual children ride on the sidewalk.

Kids too large for a baby seat can generally sit in a pull-behind wagon.
