E-bikes are an increasingly popular way to get around in China. Manufacturers there are now looking to expand to markets abroad as fuel prices stay high and consumers look for electric alternatives, as Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu explains from Beijing.

I am curious what countries call them electric mopeds. In my country and the countries around me they are called e-bikes.

Which is misleading, and there actually is a distinction.

Ebike are getting a bad rap because of electric mopeds and motos. Which is also affecting cycling IMO. Most people against cycling are always pointing at ebikes, but they generally mean electric motos or mopeds or scooter (not to mistake with the standing scooter).

But electric motors or mopeds don't get clicks on the news.
