That isn't a bicycle. It's a scooter.

So the difference is having pedals? Even if said pedals are just acting as a throttle and not actually making you put in any effort?

Almost all ebikes use a torque sensor in the bottom bracket, meaning you do have to put out some effort to get full power from the motor.

Bicycles have pedals that can propel the vehicle forward by pedaling, yes.
