There have been several e-bike and pedelecs pedestrian / cyclists deaths in the Netherlands.
Sometimes from riders falling and hurting themselves (wet road / heavy due to battery) and sometimes collisions due to mistakes / risk taking / speed difference.

But pedestrian collisions are rare but do happen. Can't really find anything in English..
