I agree with Grant here that any object with a 750-watt motor is not a bike, even with an "e" in the front. I'm not making a judgement about their merits, just saying they are more related to scooters, mopeds and small motorcycles than to two-wheeled human-powered vehicles, aka bikes or bicycles. I think the taxonomy is important. But I concede that the battle was over before it began. Carry on.
