Haha, I will admit I was worried when I bought my ebike for the same reason, but it was nice to see that I was wrong, and that a vast majority of people will do their best to leave you as much clearance as they can. While there is still the occasional moron, I now feel way safer than when I started, and my trips are getting longer. I now mostly use my ebike if the trip is 15km or less. I even got snow tires last year, and it went better than expected, although I’m now contemplating going with studded tires when the road gets icy.
Given my age (66) I probably shouldn’t be riding gravel roads too much. I’ve done a lot of it in my life and am pretty confident in my skills, but I don’t have the reflexes, the bones, or the recovery time of a teenager anymore! :)
I gave up my trials bike and my mountain bike a few years ago due to more frequent falls and injury. If I ever do build that e-trike, I’ll build it with a 50km range so I can run to town and back, but I’m not sure how often I’d actually do so. In some ways, a trike might be more challenging than a bike because of the probability that one wheel will always be in a gravel ridge.
