The California Vehicle Code classifies an e-Bike as a bicycle equipped with an electric motor less than 750 watts, ranging from top speeds anywhere from 20 mph to 28 mph.
e-Bikes with larger motors are classified as electric motorcycles with performances equivalent or greater than a small motorcycle.
By this definition all the vehicles in this chart would be classified as electric motorcycles not e-Bikes.
Bicycles are not allowed on any sidewalk in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach or San Clemente (see the Municipal Codes below), it follows eBikes are treated the same way.
Sidewalks are for Pedestrians, no place to find eBikes in any city - they belong on a multi-modal street.
