From the POV of the slow folks they’re at much greater risk from the roadies than the occasional class 1, 2 or 3 ebike.
To me it doesn’t matter where the E folks ride but if there is one up the road from me, I will purposely throw on the steam to catch and pass it. Get used to it, count it as affirmation that you are included in the main passion of cycling...to catch and drop the rider up front.
