And I'm willing to be that they are ridden as if they were electric
motorcycles NOT electric bicycles.

In what way?

Most of the e-bikes I see generally do feel well bike like, they may be
faster than the rider might be expected I pass a middle aged woman
regularly in civies she is broadly the same speed as I which is about
normal for commute type bikes.

Still slower than the racing snakes and far slower than the rare cheap de
restricted ones that are essentially a small motorbike at 30mph ish.
