There has to be also some acknowledgement that using the term 'mountain bike'
for e-bikes is at best unintentionally leveraging the broad understanding of
what a mountain bike is. What goes along with that is a presumption that these
things have access to mountain bike trails. On top of that, there's the
potential conflict of interest where some people might be using the term
mountain bike here to specifically mislead other, less informed people for
their own selfish ends of selling as much product as possible.
