As a driver I much prefer ebikes of any style to regular bicyclists. Even at 20mph they are fast enough that I don't feel agitated that I'm behind a lethargic turtle in my lane. City traffic often goes at about 20mph between lights in any case. As a former rider of a "Vespa ebike" I find that it also seem much safer as a rider than a regular bicycle because I could most keep up with traffic and I could easily monitor traffic around me because I wasn't pedaling and switching gears and what have you. Personally I feel the ebike, Vespa like or otherwise, is the future of city transportation. It's energy efficient, sweat free and all that most single occupancy vehicle drivers need to go about their daily tasks. If most people started riding them they would instantly become much safer as well.
