    These are different; they require pedalling and are top speed limited to 25km/hr.

    That may be the law, but I see e-bikes daily that have been modified to remove those restrictions. In the video in the linked article I can see maybe one person pedal.

    I mean they could just get an actual motor bike at 16 anyway

    They have to pass a written test on the road rules, and yeah, they have to actually be 16. The motorbike also has to have registration plates and they can be penalised or lose their licence.
