The battery powered bikes and scooters are getting out of hand.

A friend's wife went for a walk on a pedestrian path last year and woke up in the hospital. This path often has bikers on it. Nobody saw the accident but police said that debris found at the scene indicated it was a bike that hit her, and folks at a nearby bar reported seeing someone(s) on ebikes going faster than traffic on the street on the path before people who found her came running to get help.

These things travel at crazy speeds relative to the driver's ability to control them.

She still is suffering from headaches and memory issues.
