What are your thoughts on E-motorbikes using bike lanes?

Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike (this style) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on).

Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it's clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes.

I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP's without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.

If you can't pedal it and it's faster than a bike bring pedaled, it doesn't belong in a bike lane.

Bike pedalled by who? Honestly, as a daily user of bike lanes, the spandex clad Lance Armstrong's are by far the fucking worst.
