Why don't we just stick to reality instead, eh?
Bikes with a motor are motorbikes whether electric or gas whether the throttle is on the handlebar or on the cranks.
If it doesn't have a motor and you need to pedal to make it go up then it's a bike. Easy.
You want to ride an ebike, I have no problem with that. Just don't pretend you do the same effort as me on my mountain bike and stop trying to justify going to the e-side. Don't try to convert me unless you are offering to buy me one. End of story.
As for wheel size how about we stick to rim size rather than wheel size with tyres on? A 2.3in tyre will have a smaller overall diameter than a 2.6 or a 4.0 so it makes no sense at all to call the rim by one particular overall size.
A "29in" rim is 622mm or 24.5in, a 650b/"27.5in" is 584mm or 23in and a "26in" rim is 559mm or 22inches.
