    Cars are less than 10% likely to cause severe injury at those speeds, ebikes have a 20th of the mass of a car.

    Its not the mass of the vehicle, its the pedestrian getting knocked down and banging their head on the pavement or curb edge that makes bike collisions as deadly.

    Just no. While bicycle collisions have the potential to be fatal, they are nowhere near as lethal as collisions between cars and people or bikes.
