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.
Hard to tell from the photos, but you are right, no pedals. But it’s still a bicycle?
