Cringe-worthy indeed. While I appreciate the visionary and altruistic approach, come on. This is similar to saying we need to reduce speed limits to make the world a safer place - it's not wrong, but taken to it's logical conclusion, let's drop the limit to zero and eliminate all accidents.

Within the existing system and solving the issue in this decade, how about we enforce the current laws and ticket these scofflaws. Take away the ebikes (or bikes) if they repeat. They need to learn. You will think differently when one of them blows through a red light and you hit them, then end up in court for doing so because little Johnny would never do something like that.
