The solution is limiting the speed they can have. If e-bikes can be factory limited by law, cars too.

I think about this all the time. I've watched a few high speed chase videos and it is absurd that someone can make just about any car go double highway speeds. These people often even drive in oncoming traffic, bike lanes, and sidewalks. It does seem a little ridiculous to give everyone that kind of potential destructive power.
