The number of kids riding illegal (or illegally modified) Class 2 and 3 e-bikes is a multiple of the number of middle-aged commuters using e-bikes.

There's no such thing as an illegal class 2 or class 3 e-bike.
At least in my area the kids riding wheelies down the street are on bikes sold as dirt bikes. Legally exactly the same as riding a 2-stroke motocross bike on the street.
Seems to be more of, something must be done about kids riding OHVs on the road, but since that's already illegal let's try a law interfering with middle aged commuters on e-bikes.
