It depends on how they get categorized. IMHO, if it is only pedal assist, then it is an e-bike. If it has a throttle and can go without requiring the rider to pedal, then it is an electric moped and should be regulated as such.
As with everything. There will be some ******bags out there that will modify them to go faster and will cause a lot of grief for those with a legitimate need or desire to have an electric assist bike. A older friend that we see every Friday evening when we go out has an electric assist bike and it helps him get out and be active. He is a slender guy but just up in years and I cay more power to him.
