Will this help or exacerbate the situation?
My e-bike easily does 20+. I think that makes things safer. My normal riding speed on my e-bike is around 14-15 mph, but if I have carts piling up behind me or just one cart behind me in on a split trail, I speed up to 20 ending any conflict except with speeders. When I ride my hybrid (10-12 mph) I am getting passed constantly. With my e-bike, I am getting passed a lot less. That, to me, is safer.
