There’s only one way to combat big ass cars.
And that’s with big ass bikes!
Could he not ride in the middle instead of on top? Wow, that’s crazy.
Oh sure, but then he wouldn’t be able to chat with the birds as he rides to work.
I have written about those elsewhere, but yes, they are the product of limited or lacking guidance on creating and usage of e-bikes. New Jersey, as I imagine you know, is now on a warpath against e-bikes as a whole because of those examples you listed.
At least they will never look as cool as a two story bicycle.
And all because impractically wide and heavy bikes you wouldn’t even want to ride on urban streets make it cheaper to install oversized motors and batteries. Impressive how bikes and ebikes are still fighting to be taken seriously but the idiots have already found a way to exploit it for their quasi-legal dream competely unregulated motorbikes.

Oh… seems like Startpage has heavily changed how long their anonymous search results are kept… Guess from now on I need to do the addtional clicks again to actually go to the original sources and directly pictures again. Sorry about that…
It were all picture of oversized fatbikes but on normal bike lanes, where there are zero benefits to use a heavier and more cumbersome bike. Those are used in normal urban environment for only one reason: it’s cheaper to install an oversized battery and oversized motor in an oversized bike, to then terrorize normal bikers with speeds you shouldn’t drive between other bikes (and the weight to match).
Where I live that is actually illegal as ebikes have indeed limits. Which is just ignored by those morons, as the speed limiters making those abominations legal are purely software (and can of course be deactivated if you know how). And as there is -rightfully so- no widespread mandatory checkup for “bikes” they won’t rarely get caught anyway.
