The point you mention about not expecting a bicycle to be going near 30 mph is an interesting one.

One reason bennelson said he made his electric motorcycle is because, for safety reasons, he wanted more "road presense" than his e-bicycle gave him. He also mentioned that he didn't think people were expecting a bicycle to be moving fast (don't know if he had any incidents though).

Glad you're OK!
