Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

  Mopeds used to have pedals as well. The term comes from Swedish words motor and pedaler

    History is a circle.

    First we had bicycles. These then got helper motors. Then we got motorcycles and the two stroke engines had helper pedals to start. Then the pedals were removed.

    Now we still have bicycles. These then got electric helper motors. Then we got electric bikes, that still have pedals, but people hack them to run entirely on the motor.

    Make up your minds already. Everyone of these changes upsets the elderly.
