Bike thefts on electric motorbike/cycle looking thing (feddit.uk)

This morning in SE London, I witnessed 2 people on what looked like a motorcycle, but it was electric, push a guy off his bike on the bike path, and pickup his bike drive away with it. Civilians tried to stop them, but the bike they were on was very fast, and silent.

The two people on the bike looked ominous. All dressed in black. The bike had no decals on it, was all black as well. Balaclavas, helmets, what looked like ski googles, and tactical clothing. They were driving like assholes as well, as they got away with the bike.

The bike owner was shaken, but ok it seemed. Bike seemed brand new, shiny, and purple, but I've no clue whether it was expensive.

How are these electric motorcycles street legal, and what are they called? Are there many makers of them, or are they usually from the same company?

This guy used a TfL FOI response to build a tool that shows you which London bus stops are busiest. Enjoy!
