> ride your e-bike/bike in the middle of the lane. That is legal in the state were I live and probably most other states.

This is dependent on where you live, and I would not recommend taking the lane unless you observe local cyclists doing so as well. I've ridden across several states and in some parts of the US the rules of the road are dictated by Newton's laws rather than state and federal ones. You may be within your legal rights to ride in the middle of the lane, but depending where you ride you may have to deal with more than just everyday honking and swearing. Punishment passes, thrown aluminum cans (hopefully empty), brake checks, swerving, etc.
