The Ford Transit Connects made in Europe and are sent to the US with seats in them. In the US, the seats are removed and then sent back to Europe, presumably to be installed in new Transit Connects.
The EU only considers an electric bicycle an "ebike" if it has a motor that's 250 watts or less. Anything labeled above 250w is considered a motorcycle and requires more fees, taxes, licensing, etc. The "workaround" is that vendors kept shipping the same bikes but edited the spec sheets to say "250w", regardless of the motor's actual power output (often 2x that wattage)
This is also to avoid taxes.
