It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Perhaps I'm just ignorant but what's the difference between an electric bike and a motorcycle? Is it just the speed or is it still a different class of vehicle?

Different class of vehicle : on a bike you still have to pedal or you don't move, it is an "electric assistance bike".

The speed has to be limited to 25km/h to be legally on roads, in european countries.

afaik only the assistance has that speed limit whereas the bike itself can still go faster by pedal power or gravity
