Sorry but who hurt you? No need to be rude.
My last sentence was pretty clear that when it comes to current legal label they are the same, The same as your personal bike even. To the law these are all comparable. Can ride on bikelanes, dont require any traffic license. (At least where i live)
Except your article does state some places do treat them differently:
In some locations, the driver is required to have a chauffeur's driver's license to operate on public streets.
But my point is they should not count as the same at all and thats an opinion i am free to add to this discussion, they are build differently for different usecases. They need their own respective laws fit for the areas they ride, size and max speed. There is nothing safe about allowing these on bikeslanes.
I would even say for party bikes, they don’t all compare among themselves either.
