That's true, and i suppose safety is good.

Equally, I'm dismayed at people with no road awareness and, seemingly, concern for their own and others safety, bring given these "light motorcycles" and riding them as if they are bikes... On pavements, on roads down the wrong way, through red lights and parks.

People aren't any smarter on purely mechanical bikes but there is a higher bar to being dangerous.

E-bikes are illegal in Toronto, yet they are everywhere because the police rarely enforce the rule.

This is so patently false it hurts to read. The city has an easy website explaining the rules[0], and the bike share system provides ebikes[1].

I meant e-scooters. I guess I conflated them all together.
