There are plenty of modern ebikes that are just bikes with a motor. I have one of these for instance (well, the previous generation): https://ride1up.com/product/roadster-v3/

The best description I've seen of using it is "cycling without hills".

The fact that we use the same name for these and "low speed electric motorcycles" is... unfortunate.

Early motorcycles were also indeed just bicycles with a motor.
