    That’s what “moped” used to mean. Also that “e-bike” does 750 watts. A good cyclist can do that for a couple seconds. And that’s about twice what a pro cyclist can do for sustained efforts. The thing is a motorcycle pretending to be a bicycle.

        You called it a fatbike and an e-scooter. An e-scooter is an electric kick scooter and a fatbike is a bicycle with fat tyres which can be ridden on soft ground such as sand. In some countries the term fatbike is used to mean electric motorcycle with pedals and fat tyres, and a scooter can also be a kind of motorcycle/moped. Words are confusing.

            As I said there are two things people call fatbike and they have very little in common apart from fat tyres.
