Even though it is constructed from bicycle parts, this would be considered a motorcycle by legal standards in the US. Ebikes in the US generally are not allowed to exceed 20mph, but the motor in this can go well above that limit. I believe the limit is actually lower in the EU[1]. They may have to market this as a motorcycle on this fact alone.
