the dutch have a problem with older people getting ebikes and not having the reflexes to cope with 15mph. So there's an argument for 15mph being too fast.
Me, I'd like to see 20mph for ebikes and compulsory, fitted lights lights. There's a battery there FFS.

It's going to be difficult to avoid them completely but you can certainly reduce the amount of US products you buy. I'm thinking the same. Exercise my rights as a consumer and choose where my goods come from.
