This certainly seems to be the technical position adopted by manufacturers of the higher power models like eZee and Wisper, but the usage regulation is very different in the final EU wording agreed long ago: “cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kilowatts, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h, or as soon as the cyclist stops pedalling” .
