All this talk of motors makes me wonder. Can I remove the E motor from
my E Bike and replace it with a G Motor and go zipping down the road
without a driver's license on my new G Bike (:-?)?

I think that's a Thai-specific question.
You certainly could but there are most probably laws against
that or at least regulations. Here, since no one cares*,

*Every once in a while, large cities make a feint to
enforcement for a week or two before rampant disregard

I was remembering back to the Whizzer Motorbike kit.
From memory that needed a driver's licence and license plates -
probably dependent on the State.
