Mr Blackwood, a great-grandfather who served in the Army for 26 years, died three months after Cage knocked him down while he was taking his recycling out.
Ms Coleman told BBC South East that people who were buying e-bikes as gifts “aren’t thinking about the consequences of their actions” and that safety was “something to think about”.
E-bike motors must not exceed 250 watts and must cut out at 15.5mph, according to the Department for Transport (DfT).
Police forces also have the power to seize e-bikes which do not comply, a spokesperson added.
Other safety concerns regarding e-bikes include fire risks involving e-bikes and lithium-ion batteries, including e-bike conversion kits.
Jonathan Harrison, director of the association of cycle trainers, said e-bikes were “really, really positive when used correctly”.
He added: “With the right guidance, reliable equipment and continued support e-bikes become an overwhelmingly positive experience.”
