Unfortunately the world has passed you by. All of the sub-$500/$1000 electric powered bikes that the kids use are e-bikes. You may want use the term e-mopeds, and correct everyone you meet, but that’s not what the millions of kids out there call them.

And they are ridden like electric motorcycles.
