From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

Ebikes are electric motorcycles.
In the same way that you’re a bonobo.
Well technically true, ebike can mean electric motorcycle and electric bicycle.
There is a massive spectrum of electric moving things and the terms are sadly not very clear.
Electric bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles are still all different things with some grey area. Their legal requirement and registration brackets in particular country are probably about the best divisions.
Yeah, (kick)scooter and (motor)scooter are different thing yet it’s normally just referred to as scooter. Motorcycle is a catch-all term for anything two wheeled driven by an engine, but somehow in some place it mean the one with higher cc and the lower cc are called moped, and then in some place moped is a kind of motorvehicle that ride below a certain speed.
Even when ebike are divided by class, in some country class 1 and 2 does include the motor power, while other just define it by their speed and the availability of a throttle. This is why when politician that never into these thing talk about it, they tend to mixed it up and people will go into a fit of rage about how ebike is all bad.
