micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

This seems more like a motorcycle than a bike to me, but you know, I'm here for it. If the US gets more scooter culture (like Asia), it'd do wonders for the flow of traffic. Right now, cars have just gotten so huge and so dangerous they scare the heck out of me - nothing like 8,000# of low-visibility vehicle with one occupant hurtling down a 45 mph road at 65 to discourage me from being out there.
It's sort of like "would you rather fight 1 elephant sized ant or 1,000 ant-sized elephants"
*28 on flat terrain, full charge, light rider. With wind, a heavy ulock, groceries, and a steep hill, you'll be pedaling at 14 mph while cars roar past you doing 35. Class III bikes are needed for hilly cities, particularly because few put bike lanes on steep hills.
