Show HN: Long Range E-Bike
We really need a terminology to differentiate better between pedal-assist only e-bikes ("pedelec") and electric motorbikes.  A "bicycle" that can accelerate without the need to pedal at all is an electric motorcycle, no matter if you put pedal on it or not.I see the two as totally different things: I've tried pedal-assist e-bike and they're great.  But... Although I have nothing against motorbikes I'm not cool at all with basically motorbikes getting a free pass because they're disguised as bicycles.BTW this reminds me of the old french "Solex / VéloSolex": basically a real engine put on top of the front wheel, and able to accelerate by itself without the need to pedal. But the thing still had pedals.  I used to use one and still have one in a garage.  But I didn't use it on the bicycle lanes...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9loSoleX
