You're technically correct, but I think one major advantage of ebikes vs motorcycles is that you don't need to deal with all the equipment.

In Europe, this means you need at least a helmet and approved gloves when riding the faster bikes. They're legally considered a form of "motorcycle", so have the requirements: license + registration + insurance. Although, in practice, for smaller bikes, basically everyone already has the license.
