Not sure what I think about ebikes. So do you ride them in the bike lanes? If so, you're going to be passing commuters at 30 kph and I can foresee some accidents. Or, do you ride an ebike on the road and take up a lane, which is way too slow. They don't quite belong in the bike lane and they don't quite belong on the road taking up a lane. Some bike paths are so busy as it is with normal bikers on human power, I can foresee some issues with more and more ebikes and no regulations.

I think any motorized vehicle should require rider/driver get some sort of license.
