@bicripple: In Germany there exists the term "Spezialrad", i.e. "Special Bike", mostly in the form of the Spezialradmesse (Special Bike Fair) which once was defined as for all bikes which don't have a diamond frame. At some point e-bikes became part of the fair, too.
Then again, there's the discussion that many of those "special bikes" are not really special anymore, e.g. cargo bikes and e-bikes are quite common these days.
@xtaran@bicripple the "Ordinary" was the bike with a large front wheel and fixed pedals, and then came the "safety bicycle" with the triangular frame. In any case, Extraordinary seems not to be a great or very correct term for the non-safety bicycles (also not a great term) so I'm no help. 🤷 I tend to just mention #cargoBikes or #adaptiveBikes as two kinds of atypical cycle that need to be considered in #BikeParking. At least that covers extra width or length consideration, sorry tallbikers.
