If ebikes aren't of the same mass / kinetic energy as a moped, they shouldn't be classified the same.
Ebikes have the potential to revolutionize transportation in a positive way. Less infrastructure, more dense movement, opens biking to more people with less developed cardiovascular ability.
If I could do 22-25 mph / 35-40kph sustained with a rain suit on, I can beat lots of rush hour car routes, with an output of 10-15mph done by myself, and towing/carrying 20 pounds of stuff, a LOT of car trips become unnecessary.
