I know how much cyclists are despised by a lot of drivers, I can imagine that it is exponentially worse for e-bikers.

If they take long enough to identify the distance as they try to race past.

As a bicyclist (and pedestrian) I seriously try to take them into account when encountering them using (or crossing) the roads. Plenty of clearance, and slowing down if there is oncoming traffic and no safe way to give them space.

Of course, the real way to enrage the drivers on a bike is to fully act like the vehicle you legally are and use the whole lane. I did that a few times when living in Virginia and the local bike trail *was* essentially on a local road for a stretch. And since it was a 15mph limit there I was usually doing (if not exceeding since it was a mild downhill slope) the speed limit.

I got yelled at by drivers when they eventually (and illegally) passed me more than once there. I was also in my early-20s and thus unimpressed by their vehicular bravado.
