My belief of what this community dislikes comes down to shitty infrastructure and danger to unprotected individuals just having a good time. Also a bit fossil fuels, but I feel that's mainly a bonus point here. So motorcycles fall in the category car infrastructure and danger to others at high speed (and a small bit fossil fuel), but ebikes fall in the category bike infrastructure so that's good although they are still a danger at high speeds but then again also no fossil fuels.

So scoring between -2.5 (heavy car with ice) to +2.5 (slow durable bike), I'd say ebikes score at least +1.5 here. Wich you could translate to 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 so very much not like motorcycles which I would score -2, which is 3 out of 10.

    So I've seen people in my neighborhood in bike lanes and sidewalks going really fast.

    After reading the other comments, I don't really know to differentiate an e-bike in a bike lane or an e-motorcycle in a bike lane. I think the latter had people in my neighborhood complaining. It doesn't really bother me since they don't actively try to hit me but a lot of older people don't like it. I just worry that some of them don't wear helmets.
