How different is an electric bicycle from an electric motorcycle?

See, I rather ride an electric hayabusa or a ninja.

Before, there was a difference between them, now that both can be powered by electricity the line blurs.

The only real difference is the electric bike has some stubby pedals. The reality is that those moving up from electric bike will be moving up to motorcycles. Can't beat two wheels with Chinese traffic. Nanchang resident 6 years, electric bike user 4 years, motorcycle resident in 6 months.

The electric bikes I've seen are lighter and have thinner wheels.

And you can cycle on an electric bike.
