What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.

Really? Because I don't remember pedaling my Honda 750.

    I don't remember pedaling my eBike, either. With a big enough motor, they're all but completely vestigal.

    It's true that there are different classes of ebikes. Class 3 ebikes with enough power can be basically motorcycles disguised as bikes. Mine is a class 1 and very much a bicycle. If the distinction can be made that some ebikes do not require pedaling and are therefore motorcycles, by extension it is equally valid to say that ALL ebikes must have pedals so all ebikes are bikes. The truth is really somewhere in-between. Not sure how important that is to a shower thought though.

    eBikes require pedaling. I don't know what you had, but it wasn't an eBike.
