Most also have pedalec, BUT, guess what, most pedalecs are just rotation sensors... In other words just a throttle, as they do not, have pressure sensors, So, a "pretend pedaling" effort, or a full pedaling effort, works just as well, as a throttle, (when you don't actually want to pedal), as to reducing sweating/effort, but in reality, it is in every way is just a throttle, (or can be used as a throttle), except it "looks" like normal bike pedalling, whether it is or not, ... and the person using it can honestly say/think, they do not have a throttle

EDIT; IN other words, people are hoodwinked, probably willingly to get around the Laws... Oh look, My E-Bike does not have a throttle... (but I don't actually need to put any effort into pedaling to go any where, I just need to rotate the crank)... and, you wonder why some people on here are so against E-Bikes pretending to be bicycles...

EDIT 2: I am actually 100%for E-Assist bicycles.... BUT, Not mopeds, or even, overpowered E-Bikes with a throttle, where one does not need to put in a "normal amount of effort" to go anywhere...
