Can't even call it a throttle

I guess I'll have to stick with "accelerator"

Dunno what it'll be called when I trade in my motorbike for an electric one someday

An electric bike should be called a motorbike. Your motorbike should have been called an engine bike from the start. Motors are electric, engines use internal combustion.

In a perfect world, yes, but actually, no.

I just know what I learned in College when I earned an AA in automotive repair. Motor is used interchangeably in common parlance, but that is an incorrect usage.

But then we also need to call the brake the accelerator, too.
