Yeah it looks like he is mostly hung up on a semantic issue. When you strap a power source to your bicycle that exceeds the power limit for assisted pedalling technologies, you get into moped or motorcycle territory — legally speaking. It may look like a bicycle, but manufacturers of e-bikes are probably not too keen on calling anything that requires a driving licence and/or insurance an e-bike; it creates confusion and hurts the image they are trying to build around e-bikes. He just wants a moped that looks like a bicycle.
