More precisely, a certain type of ebike which is designed to go very fast and its governor can be easily bypassed.
Some even add a throttle on the handlebar and remove the pedals making it an unlicenced and uninsured electric motorcycle.
I am all for replacing cars with bicycles and push for ebikes for those who need the assistance, but we need to clearly define and regulate what’s a bicycle and a motorcycle and where they are allowed to ride and at what speed.
Nothing inherently wrong with throttle IMO
