Per this image from the CBS report, it does appear the victim was on a high-speed, no-pedal "e-moto," rather than an electric bicycle.
State legislation recently passed that will better regulate e-motos. Background on the new law from @nikhunder.com:

A 19-year-old died after a crash between his e-bike and a car in Franklin Park Tuesday morning, police said.
