No, they are not motorcycles. They are bicycles with an electric support.

They are motorcycles with minimal pedal assistance from the rider, which serves as a fig leaf.

How much power do you think a bicycle rider needs for riding at a speed of 25 km/h? How much power would he or she need for riding with a speed of 125 km/?
