  Obviously causation doesn’t equal correlation. But, I should point out that your two paragraphs contradict each other, via logic. Also, I have a physical disability due to a 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system. Somehow, I have reflexes in both my ankles and knees. The emphasis is on somehow. Unfortunately, the people that can often benefit the most from an E-Bike are frequently the ones who probably shouldn’t be using one. It is not just neurological impairment, either. There are kits to convert your bike into an E-Bike, which I imagine can be used for handbikes, which is good news, as it is a lot safer.

In that case, the best option is a manual wheelchair (often paid for by national/public/private health insurance) with a Batec Electric Cycle [1] that attaches to the wheelchair. Still, a full helmet (covering jawline) and a wheelchair seatbelt would be advisable.
