    It is a relatively simple procedure to remove the speed controls on e-bikes and they are now riding as fast as motor scooters and do not understand the first thing about traffic laws and the fact that they are for their own protection.

    "How can you avoid e-bike or e-scooter injuries?

    Ten common-sense precautions can help you avoid injuries and ER
    visits:

    Wear a helmet. If you're renting an e-bike or e-scooter, you may
    need to bring your own since many rental systems do not provide
    helmets...... "

    Always wear a full face helmet?


    Same logic, merely extended.

    Might crash my bike and possibly hit my head = foam cap.
    Might go face-first = full face hardshell.
