One of these numb nuts passed me this morning very stealthily in the dark with no lights, no warning, probably going 25 mph.

These things should be on the road with the speeds they are capable of. But that's another thread. I know.😒
I've not yet run into e-bikes at those speeds here on the bike path but since the world if full of thoughtless, clueless people I know that day will come. One similar problem in the boating world here is speed boats operated by that type of person, who these days may well be on other substances besides alcohol, speeding around thoughtlessly with the result there have been several deaths.
