Honestly a great take. While i generally doesn’t mind throttle-only use of an ebike, some of these machine is just way too fast, to the point people are starting to look at ebike like they look at car.

This isn’t hard to solve, just have the manufacturers sell them with mandatory class tags, so that everyone knows immediately what they are, what speed limit they have to obey and where they’re allowed to go.
You can even create dedicated lanes for each class, for safety.
There are dedicated lanes for motorcycles already. Other than that, I agree.
Dedicated lanes for motorcycles, as in, the same as the car lanes?
Around my neck of the woods there are no dedicated motorcycle lanes - they can make use of bus lanes, same as taxis, and can’t use bicycle lanes.
But yeah, just sort them into classes at the factory, and make the rules around that - like for medium power vehicles it could demand insurance, for high power ask for registration and a driver’s license too, for low power/bycicles just a very basic course taught at schools but where kids they issued their very own initial “drivers license”.
By dedicated lanes for motorcycles I mean roads. What I’m trying to say is that motorcycles should not be in bicycle lanes and that includes motorcycles posing as bicycles.
