I get the impression a lot of leftpondians use "bike" to mean MC, so to them saying "ebike" when they mean "electric motorcycle" is pretty natural.
Emoto or escooter are words too, and they would have been more accurate. This is not an ebike, there are no pedals and calling it one is just straight up incorrect.
That's my opinion as well (I think of "ebike" as "EU-conformant pedelec"), but that opinion doesn't seem to be universal.
That is largely due to companies misusing the term because they want to hop on the ebike hype train but IMO, it does more harm to the micromobility industry than good.
Yes, I agree. It appears to have worked on the leftpondians though, and thus we get headlines like this.
