While I story of understand you anger, as there are some fools out there that are using their illegal ebikes effectively as motorcycles on bike paths and sidewalks, they are:
If you're going to get angry, get angry at cars, car-centric infrastructure, and the fact that people on ebikes don't have the proper cycling infrastructure to stay separated from pedestrians.
Don't get me wrong, I've hated and feared cars since I was a boy. But some greenwashing fuckers and their shills in the 'bike lobby' legalising riding motorbikes in what used to be safe places has hardly improved matters.
Now there's nowhere safe to ride a bike or walk, or for children to play.
Fuck cars and fuck motorbikes.
Also, 60 pounds my arse. You might get the odd actual bicycle with a little electric motor attached, but most of them are the same weight and speed as mopeds. And they don't stay "restricted to 20mph" for long.
