Still, the "mo" in "moped" comes from "motor". It's a vehicle with a non-human power source, just like a car.
So I find it kind of weird that they're often allowed in bike lanes, especially where those are separated from pedestrians by just a painted line on a sidewalk (or sometimes even worse, explicitly mixed in with them!).

Because there are limited resources and e-bike cyclists will be much nicer to other cyclists than cars are to any kind of cyclist. Besides that if there is an accident it won't be a fatality right away.
