The main safety problems for me are infrastructure and cultural. If ebikes become popular then hopefully that will provide more pressure for better bike infrastructure, and increase driver awareness. Neither is a quick or guaranteed process, but the benefit should apply even to normal bike users. The weather thing yeah I don't see how it's going to help. If they drastically increase ridership, then I guess it could make high quality winter gear more practical and affordable? I'm not really expecting anything on that front though.
