Not sure why recreational road bikes need to be made of carbon fibre either anke2 Wink
Maybe it's about flowing aesthetics rather than actual performance in many cases, in both categories. I think this bike looks great, the ID overall is excellent.

Not an E-bike? Maybe a moped then?

Not sure why a still heavy comfort-cruiser needs to be made of carbon fibre...
