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.

It seems like he’s referring to the very real problem of people getting a doctor’s note to let them bring an untrained animal anywhere as if it were a trained service animal, and relating that to people putting pedals on a motorcycle to let them go anywhere a bike would be allowed.
It’s an apt comparison as people with trained service animals and compliant ebikes are both hurt by others who bend or break their respective rules.
Is it though? Not a problem I’ve ever encountered, unlike dangerous ebikes. And the latter causes actual injury, not just a minor nuisance, so I wouldn’t call it an apt comparison either.
If, however, the commonly held opinion is that animals in restaurants are as big a problem as dangerous motor vehicles… I guess that explains the lack of response at least.
