This has come up,i think you have it right...i’ve seen so many delivery guys getting ticketed on the greenway on those throttle bikes...the citibike ebikes are super fast and fun, but verboten if you wanna compete in BIYF! at least i think they are?!
not sure where the judges landed.
I personally hide any ride that includes assist,
and @MadDan I think pointed out that you can identify a ride as e-bike on Strava.
