Yes, there are lots of angles... I am just pointing out the differences between systems... I too have a throttle and a PAS system on my bike, when ever I use the throttle I think of my bike as a moped, when I use the PAS I think of my bike as a normal bike with "some" assistance (35%) in level 1 which is what I use 90%+ of the time so I still pedal 65% in total for basically any ride...
Now doing 100% assistance free would certainly count for more... But it's way more doable/enjoyable/practical/... for me and my situation...
As for the legal, I suspect most if not all throttle bikes are not, (legal I mean)... JMO
EDIT; there are starting to be PAS bikes out there that allow assist over 20MPH so People are always looking to beat the system.
