Can your toaster do 40mph and kill you if you hit a pothole?
I'd almost bet that there are more toaster related death each year the ebike ones...
Toaster kill count: 700/year according to this, and 1000/year according to this.
E-Bike kill count: 119 between 2017 and 2021 according to this.
Best we can do is an ebike license with an optional toaster endorsement. Separate license class for anything over 1500w or more than two slots.
