wasp, I think I know what you are trying to get at. But, think about "why" the special classifications were created a few years ago.
They were created, because without the special classifications, ebikes were illegal. The were illegal because they were classified as a motorvehicle. And, the laws tend to frown on motorvehicles being operated on public street when they are uninsurable.
If you violate the definition of an ebike, you risk putting your bike into a different classification.
