I was literally just on a bike/walk trail in seattle on my e-bike, probably going about 15mph and a non-e-bike blew past me like I was standing still. I'd guess he was clocking around 30mph. While e-bikes certainly can contribute to a problem of unsafe biking on a trail, they are not the only source of that problem.

Yes but I see a lot more e-bikes doing that than conventional cyclists. I attribute it to the very thing that is beneficial about e-bikes. They attract people who don't otherwise ride bikes. At least in my neighborhood (Alki) the fast cyclists stick to the road. The scooters are the real menace. I see more mishaps on those than anything else.
