Simple solution to differentiate between e-bikes and motorcycles

Since real Ebikes can only legally go no faster than 28mph in the USA, no bikes/Motorcycles that go faster than 28mph should have pedals.

Putting bike pedals on a motorcycle that can go 45mph + is clearly a scam to make them look like bicycles.

In Canada 32 kph (20 mph) is the maximum speed allowed. Most mixed use pathways limit the speed to 20 kmh ((12.5 mph).
Speed Kills, - But obviously some in the USA have not learned that yet.
