It's a super compact ebike - basically a suitcase with wheels but it's just at $1,000. Personally I'd love to get one and know full well this suitcase bike isn't anything like the Super73 but it's really to showcase the floor for these types of bikes:

    That's not an ebike, that's a scooter. I got excited that Honda made an affordable ebike there for a second...

    Sorry about that - not well versed on the difference between the classes. I originally thought an ebike was a bike with an electric motor attached, but I've seen quite a few articles about wheeled conveyances that I wouldnt classify as a bike being called one. My bad

    No worries, the term ebike gets thrown around pretty loosely in the media and even by manufacturers sometimes.

    Doesn't help that it's kind of complicated too: Classifications of different types of ebikes vary from country to country, but basically as a rough guide, if you can pedal it, it would probably be regarded as an ebike. If it's something where you don't pedal, it's probably some sort of scooter.
