    I am curious what countries call them electric mopeds. In my country and the countries around me they are called e-bikes.

      Which is misleading, and there actually is a distinction.

      Ebike are getting a bad rap because of electric mopeds and motos. Which is also affecting cycling IMO. Most people against cycling are always pointing at ebikes, but they generally mean electric motos or mopeds or scooter (not to mistake with the standing scooter).

      But electric motors or mopeds don’t get clicks on the news.
