That's the point, I read the post as satire making fun of the top level comment.

"Free pass" for electric motorbikes? What is that person on about? Why have meaningless distinctions between pedaling or not, when the overriding goal should be "promote bike use over vehicle use"?

What societal good, what good to the citizen, is it to place burdens on e-bikes that are not pedal assist?
