The most famous case I can remember is the doctor who founded the Huashan Hospital Emergency Department getting killed by an ele.me driver.
Here's something I found in English:
Doctor Li Mouqiu, who co-founded the emergency departments at Shanghai's two major hospitals, Ruijin and Huashan, was knocked off his electric scooter by a courier carrying takeout orders for Ele.me on Feb 24 near the crossroads of Zhongshan South Second Road and Caoxi Road.
Something else that hasn't been mentioned is that legally, e-bikes have a speed limit (enforced by electronic means from the manufacturer) of 25 km/h. However, most delivery drivers hack that and get bikes that go at least 40 km/h, some even higher.
