The bike path is probably the best place for E-Bikes moving at less than 20 MPH. But, 30+ MPH, and they should only be on automobile roads.
Direction of travel should be enforced.
I also think there should be some guidance as to the maximum size/weight of the electric vehicles. A 250 pound ebike/rider going 20 mph is a lot less of a hazard than a 500+ pound cargo ebike going the same speed. And yes, there are such vehicles.
