No thank you. In my 40 years of driving I've been in two accidents. Both times I was rear-ended while waiting to make a lefthand turn. Both times were major inconveniences that made me late for work and cost me time and money to resolve but no one was injured in the slightest.
Had I been on a e-bike/scooter/moped I would have certainly been badly injured and possibly killed.
Give me 3000 lbs of steel, multiple crumple zones, smart 3 point seatbelts, anti-lock brakes, traction control, active head restraints, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning and 23 airbags if I am traveling over 20mph. Especially if I've got family in the car.
