That does not seem like common sense being ignored....
What I am saying is you state " I seriously doubt that there would be any charge..." Why take the risk, sit back long enough and some FOOL will try it and then see how the courts play it out before you go down that road (figuratively and physically)...
Nothing wrong with being a pioneer or a trend setter, but maybe not on this one..
This topic has been beaten to death. Power-assisted E-bikes are perfectly legal in road closures.
Nothing grey about it.
