This just goes to show how diverse language can be and how time can change meanings. Within some circles/communities one term might mean one thing and in another something completely different. For context my use of the term cheater bike was when ebikes weren't yet a thing, so people recognized that a cheater bike was a lightweight bike that was way easier on a climb than a typical freeride/enduro/all-mountain type bike.
