I'm not saying that it isn't silly. What I'm saying is that when the lawyers get through twisting the laws to fit their intrepretation, it sometimes has no no parallel to reality.
If they want, they could argue that mounting a motor on your back is just a convenient "quick disconnect." The motor is still pushing the bike, no? You've just made yourself a part of the motor mount, that's all. How it's mounted, or how it provides the push is irrelevant to the law.
You could theoretically have a flexible shaft drive, for instance, where you could wear a motor on a backpack, and plug/unplug the shaft to/from the bike when you need to dismount.
I also hope you have a fairly tight grill over the fan, as if you lost control & went into a crowd, folks could lose fingers...
