Pasted from one of the user reviews:
I love this bike, now that it’s modified. I bought it so I could ride it around my property quietly and it’s perfect for that. My suggestions are that Sur Ron should offer a rear foot brake pedal kit for all the dirt bike guys, a new spot for the horn button, and a way for this bike to sit on a dirt bike stand for easier maintenance. The mods I made were cutting the green wire for faster top speed, ... ... ...

Yup.

And that one photo on their website that shows it has a bicycle license is a bit appalling, most jurisdictions allow you to apply for a bike license on-line so of course they chose to license it that way so that they could claim it was "officially" a bicycle. I could license my truck as a bicycle that way in my community for the cost of $10, but of course nobody would accept the claim that my truck is a bicycle because everybody knows what a truck is.

As I said above in a previous post, I am not opposed to e-bikes on roads, but I am opposed to them being used on trails that were designed for non-motorized travel.
