Meh,
There's a ton of ebikes on my commute, I haven't noticed them to be any
particular menace. I've certainly seen a lot less of them weaving through
other bikes on the bike lanes/ roads than I see from other roadie's. I think
this is because they're less confident cyclists, and don't like to do anything
they see as dangerous. Also, ebikes generally go 20mph or less, not really
super fast.
What I do see all the time is random shmucks not getting off my wheel (I'm
also on my road bike). I don't know their skill level, I may have to stop
quickly or turn for other path/ road users. At the very least, pull your
weight and take a turn. I'm trying to commute, not pull a paceline.
