Only semi-related but: The only people I've heard say e-bikes aren't real bikes are people who don't own bikes of either kind.

Most of them that say that to me are superhuman athletes.

There's no ebike with a hundred mile range, and these guys are doing 24 hour races and cross country tours. So after a short while it just becomes a lead weight in the frame.

Nope. I own four real bicycles. Electric motorcycles are not real bicycles.

I don't own any motor vehicles :)

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Do you own an ebike with an electric motor in it?

No one was talking about electric motorcycles so that checks out.

Ebikes are electric motorcycles.
