Just a single anecdote, but one death made the papers here last year because it was an e-bike that hit and elderly gentleman. The e-bike had been modded and the media was suggesting the cyclist faced jail time as a result. (if I remember correctly)

e bikes aren't supposed to go over 30kmph, or else they require a license as a motor vehicle.
Terrible news. How many people were killed by drivers since then? What happens when you look at a decade worth of data?
