I've complained twice to @strava @stravaeng and @stravasupport on x.com.
No reply. If it continues I will no longer participate with Strava.
I only use it as a ride diary.

I can't offer a solution. It seems like the result of Strava cracking
down on eBikes:
"Strava Is Cracking Down On E-bikes" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGAJZB4j9Eg>
There are also some similar complaints: <https://www.google.com/search?q=strava%20rides%20get%20flagged%20as%20an%20ebike>
I know this is obvious, but have you checked your Strava settings for
the activity to see what type of bicycle you're riding? <https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216919397-Change-Activity-Type> Looking as the list, I find a limited number of bicycle ride types:
Mountain Bike Ride
Gravel Ride
E-Bike Ride
E-Mountain Ride
That doesn't seem like a sufficient number of ride types. Adding
"road racing", "speed training" (or something similar) might solve the problem.

Strava doesn't flag rides, that's done by the community. Someone is
following you, flagging your rides, and claiming you had an ebike. I'd
clean out my followers list and only pump up your security settings.
From google AI...
"Strava flags e-bike rides due to its efforts to maintain fairness on
segment leaderboards by identifying and excluding activities that appear
to use motor assistance. This is done through a machine learning model
that analyzes various factors like speed, acceleration, and GPS data to detect potential e-bike activity. If Strava suspects an activity is an
e-bike ride, it will flag the activity, prompting users to clarify if it
was indeed an e-bike ride or to edit the activity if it was recorded as
the wrong sport type."
