I didn't read everything or follow every link, but what I saw indicated that it was an electric motorcycle. I saw no indication that it had pedals at all or was in any way claiming to be a bicycle. Did I miss something?

I do agree that there could be a problem with how various jurisdictions define what constitutes an ebike and with how they enforce that definition, but I doubt this particular bike is likely to meet the definition of an ebike anywhere, unless we are talking in very loose terms and referring to e-motorcycles which are an entirely different animal. It might be better if the term used were ebicycle, since there is even a big 950 + pound, 100 + hp e-harley now.
