New research compares the use of electric and regular bikes in DC's Capital Bikeshare network.
Conclusion: E-bikes make bikeshare better.
"E-bikes enable broader dispersion across the city by connecting more distant bikeshare stations and supporting extended mobility."

I saw three teletubbies in South Park while the Route 2 bus was passing by, and I think I can go to sleep happy.

I'll repeat my opinions here and suggest that multimodal street design should consider both fast movers and slow movers in urban environments. Bio-mechanical and E-assist have slightly different needs and deserve to be considered equally.
E-motos are just motorcycles.

I see this claim made a lot, namely that bikes that can go 28 mph under assist are *safer* than slower ones.
I know of no studies to back this up and would be very surprised if it were not, in fact, the opposite of true.

If we could get “20 is plenty“ across towns for cars as well, then sure, limiting ebikes makes sense. But as it is right now, it is a lot safer to go 20-28mph and flow with traffic than getting passed dangerously close by most drivers.
