The cart was in the wrong, but this points to an issue that is only going to grow, which is not an e-bike, golf cart, regular bike thing. It's just that there is more and more traffic on the paths as the population grows.
People need to follow the same rules as they would for driving a car - Don't speed, don't go too fast for road/weather conditions, stay in your lane, use your signals, don't tailgate, and if you are going slower than the vehicle behind you, pull over or slow down when safe to do so and wave them by you. In short, defensive driving
Yes, that cart/e-bike might be going faster than 20 MPH, and they shouldn't be. But your goal is to arrive alive/uninjured to your destination. It doesn't matter if the inscription on your head stone reads "He was in the right". Dead is dead.
