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.

More capacity = more weight + cost
It's all a tradeoff.
For sure, but in an ebike, weight isn't really a concern. Especially not in a touring model with THREE batteries ๐ฎ
Cost, for sure. But we'd be talking short term vs long term cost. Since batteries are one of the most expensive components in an ebike, I'd rather be replacing a large capacity battery after 5 years, than a low capacity one after 2 or 3.
And if you ride in cold temps, low capacity batteries will be perform much worse.
