E-Bike Are these super-fast e-bikes even e-bikes?

Many complaints from people who dislike e-bikes are directed at those riding these bikes that exceed 30 MPH.

Most regular e-bikes top out at 20. In fact, that's a little disadvantageous, seeing that I can ride my regular bike faster than that.

However, I've seen some that can reach 40 MPH. That's not even in the Class 1, 2, or 3 category. At what point do we quit calling it an e-bike and start calling it an electronic motorcycle?

What do you all think about this?
