What makes you say the e-biker was going way too fast? How fast was he going? He did not appear to be out of control in any way.

I've never ridden a mo-ped but every motorcycle I have ridden was capable of 40-50 mph at a minimum. The "E" part of e-bikes doesn't go that fast. It may look like a duck, but it's not a duck.
