Do you have any data showing the injuries were the result of balance? Simon Cowell is a well known example of multiple ebike injuries and they were the result of simply not being familiar with the bike and going too fast. Had nothing to do with balance.
Most ebike injuries are from loss on control due to speed - go look at the data that exists - and a lot of them are young people or they are older people who haven't been on a bike in a while or are unfamiliar with ebikes. Arthritis does not impact the ability to ride an
ebike; an ebike actually makes it less painful, that is all. Obviously you are younger and don't know what you are talking about......get back to me when you are in your 60s, lol.
