What’s the big deal? EBikes can accelerate to 25-30mph unassisted which is firmly in moped/scooter territory and those require a drivers license.
Want to get around town without a license? Pedal yourself.

Luckily the smaller weight and better maneuverability means that all of the accidents I have seen have been minor but I'm sure there are some good injuries from time to time (especially more at-risk people like the elderly).
Having a license that can accumulate points and be revoked for unsafe driving may be a good way to help promote good behaviour. Personally I think ebikes are great, they provide far more throughput than cars downtown and consume far less energy. But currently they are used very unsafely leading to stress and injuries for other people trying to walk the streets.
