Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:

    I actually think it’s a good idea. If this is too dangerous then by definition the same is true for all cyclists. So there is no need to address those specifically instead of improving safety for all kinds of bikes.

        I will not pretend that this is very practical but it’s an e-bike. So it can’t drive in reverse. With properly set mirror there should be zero blind spots as the normal ones (low and to the sides and in front) are eliminated by the open cab.
