"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.

No. I like being able to carry mine up stairs, and put it inside.

You will likely have a hard time carrying ebike up a stair when they disregard weight and built with only power in mind.

I agree. These are now small motorcycles. I like it. If only they'd ditch the bike facade, and make them look cool. Style em up.
