Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

A bike without electric assist.
Oh you mean Bicycle. The word we've had for over 150 years..
Ebikes are also bicycles. They just have assistance. Sometimes language gets updated to account for new technology.
"Acoustic" is just not an adjective that makes any kind of sense whatsoever...if you want to modify the language to better describe what you're talking about, at least pick words that make sense.
I didn't make up the language. Language doesn't have to be rational. /shrug
The fact that you already used the work Ebike to mean electronic bicycle means we've already agreed on a naming convention.
EBike for electric, ABike for acoustic. Bike for both.
