lucky but we are lucky enough to not have reached a stage where a wheelchair is required.

The real problem is cheaply manufactured junk batteries and ebikes. There are no enforced standards so we have $1500 bikes made well and cheapos that should not even be on the road much less left up against a flammable building.

Once enough buildings catch fire and people get burned, then we'll finally come up with a safety standard (given that the let-capitalism-run-free crowd is not running the state or country at that time).
