But is there really a fundamental difference?

I would point out that an ebike with a throttle are more like this one (sorry, only find in Italian) than a normal bicycle from a road code point of view.

Is this what we call “Mofa” in Germany? What are the rules for it?

As this one is capable of reaching 45 km/h it’s a “Moped”, not a “Mofa”.

The same used for a scooter since it was a scooter. But it is no longer produced :-(
