There are lots of different types of ebikes. Most from a bike shop will be 250 watts without throttle whereas most from the internet will be 1000watt peak (750 nominal) Chinese specials. Different bikes for different purposes. We're all cyclists, though, same rights and responsibilities.
No, the truth is NOT every cyclist will be on an ebike or quit cycling. I exercise on my actual bike (not a moped) most days of the week, and will not be buying an ebike (moped) in this lifetime.
