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

In Australia and most other jurisdictions an “e-bike” is defined by law as a bike with pedal assist up to 25km/h.

I'm pretty sure they're intentionally conflating them to either downplay the risks of unregulated electric motorcycles, or as some odd kind of anti-bike push, depending on the person making the argument.

The news is constantly bemoaning the dangers of e-bikes, while actually talking about motorcycles, too many times for it to be accidental.
