You mean, like all the mechanical advantage a bicycle gives you over the ability to propel yourself forward using only your body (i.e., running)?

+1. The majority of what are referred to as ebikes cut off somewhere around 20mph. Past that, sure, there are more powerful throttled ebikes, but I don't really think motorcycles are akin to PEDs, I'd have zero reason to think that about throttle ebikes.
