Are Electric vehicles on sidewalks hazardous to pedestrians?

Residents in Lake Worth Beach are raising safety concerns about electric bikes and scooters traveling at high speeds on sidewalks, joining a growing debate across Palm Beach County about regulating these vehicles in pedestrian areas.

Electric scooters and bikes are all over the walking path at John Prince Park which does not allow electric vehicles. Even those that are not electric are dangerous as you can't hear them coming and most do not ring a bell as they are approaching a pedestrian.
