E-Bikes and E-scooters and bunch of other modes of transportation have been recent addition and not only are they allowed (specifically E-Bikes) but you don’t need a license, they do not have to be registered and some can haul serious ass
The difference being that only one of those things routinely kills people.
E-bikes and e-scooters kill people daily, accidents on those things can mess people up and there are none of the safety mechanisms like crumple zones or seatbelts on a bike. If you search "e-bike deaths" you'll get hits.
Horse driven carriages also routinely killed people.
Humanity has always needed transport.
