Plus I just watched some of the eBike review videos on YouTube and they are all about POWER. Get out of you fantasy world that these are somehow about helping to enable people with disabilities.

These are motorbikes not bicycles and need to categorized as such.

NO MOTORS ON BICYCLES!

NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES ON BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE!
The reality of the ebike world is that I have never seen one that did not require the person to pedal. I've seen gas conversion kits, I'm sure there are electric conversion kits out there somewhere, that operate solely on a throttle, and have mentioned that I agree those fall to the category of a moped (even if I have zero desire to tell them what they can and cannot call their activities on such a device). Maybe there are people with those that don't pedal a single stroke and tell people about their bike tours, I kinda doubt it though.
