Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, longboards, unicycles: 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.

Anything that goes over 28mph is no longer an ebike in the US and would need to be registered as some sort of vehicle. Sorry.
You could get an e-moped or scooter maybe, especially if you don't care about legality but keep in mind at higher speeds you'd want to wear better protective gear rated for those speeds (DOT rated in the US).
Also, keep in mind, motorcyclists are often referred to as organ donors because they die a lot, so if you ride be careful as fuck.
Legally speaking sure. I've never seen that enforced though so I wouldn't be particularly concerned about the legality of it.
Yeah, probably some sort of moped or scooter or something
