It's pretty simple...

A bicycle with a motor is called a motorcycle.

motorcycle - mō′tər-sī″kəl -noun

A two-wheeled motor vehicle resembling a heavy bicycle, sometimes having two saddles and a sidecar with a third wheel.
A bicycle or tricycle operated by some form of motor as well as by pedals.
A two-wheeled vehicle having a motor attached so as to be self-propelled.

But don't get me wrong... I love motorcycles. I just don't confuse them with bicycles. Got my first motorcycle at 11. It was a 1953 Cushman Highlander. Never could keep it running. 50 years latter my Mom admitted to sneaking water into the gas tank to keep me off of it...
