This is kind of a nothing burger, since a court date is the only way to enforce compliance-there is no drivers licence to levy points against for e-bikes.
Also, the e-bike problem is a current rampant menace to pedestrians. I’m sure there are relatively few fatalities from e-bikes but low fatalities != low injuries/low danger.
The problem is that some cyclists seem to have a tendency to feel that the rules do not apply to to them, and e-bikes create a situation where (essentially) there is a new class of motorcyclists that have the same systemic disregard for traffic regulation.
A more stringent approach to enforcement is a logical response to systemic endangerment of pedestrians.
