>> unlike pushbikes, ebikes are nearly silent.
So an ebike is typically a regular bike PLUS an electric motor. Not sure how that can be quieter than just the regular bike. You can definitely hear whirl of the electric motor as well.
>> Plenty of dogs, and people, are hit by ebikes
Last year only 9 of the total reported bicycle-pedestrian acidents in NYC were with e-bikes.
