sure because bicycle is the generic for e-bikes too but this is not the discussion
the discussion is about changing the name for the bikes that doesn’t have a motor just because now the e-bikes are popular in some countries despite the fact that bicycles historically don’t have a motor and the number of bikes without motor is largely superior than the ones with
even the term e-bikes is incorrect! an e-bike should be a bicycle with a dynamo that produces electricity again a bicycle with a dynamo was invented earlier and I suppose there are more bikes with a dynamo than bikes with motor
that’s it
