  1. We're talking about bicycles, not ebikes
  2. So that same child should ride their bicycle on a street with pickups going 65mph while texting and driving?

Children are allowed to cycle on the pavement here, because of that. I presume many other countries probably have similar exceptions for small children.

I can cycle faster than an ebike can go. Of course an electric motorbike can go faster but they are not allowed on shared cycle/pedestrian paths either. That doesn't mean people don't use them anyway, but that is already illegal.
