Meanwhile, I'm just trying to avoid driving my fairly small e-bike in the golf cart lane and getting run down by someone in their SUV with diminished vision.

I've been unable to find any clear rules about this when it comes to bike/walking paths. I'm specifically referring to the type south of 44 where they are separate from the MMPs.

Mopeds (considered 49CC or less) require licensed plates therefore not allowed on MMP. On other hand electric bikes allowed even though don’t have to pedal them but has the ability to pedal, the don’t require licensing so good to go.
