I'm also in Brooklyn and this is also my experience, though its not just e-bikes, its also gas-powered mopeds. The 2-wheeled motor vehicles treat the sidewalks like a loophole for 1-way streets. A gas-powered moped even honked at me once for being in their way *on the sidewalk*. I'm all for e-bikes. They're great. We need police to start giving a fuck and ticket people riding on the sidewalk. Even for the ones classified as bicycles, in NYC you're only legally allowed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk if you are 12 years old or younger.
