Anytime you pedal with the motor engaged, it will push you forward more than you’ve pedaled. I thought I’d acclimate to it, but I still haven’t; especially when pedaling from a coast out of a turn, I forget the motor is in gear, and when it engages it sends me off course, flying into the curb (or worse, into traffic) That's just not a good controller. In other words: yes there are bikes like that but do your research before using it as an argument in what reads like a weird unfounded overly generalized crusade against a complete segment of transportation. Counter argument, by means of anecodte just like the OP's: I have ridden quite a lot of different ebikes and speedpedelecs and the vast majority doesn't ride like this. In fact I have the impression often the controller is programmed to slowly ramp up, taking a while to reach full power. And of the ones that do have the tendency to behave like the OP's, there was only one on which is was annoying but not yet such that it would send me off course.
