Ebikes, scooters, longboards: 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.

ebikes have been reasonably common for around 20 years. It's just that they only got super popular in the last 5-10 years.
I almost bought one in 2006 but ended up buying a Trek mountain bike instead. I don't really regret it though, I still ride the MTB today and I can't even remember the name of the ebike maker so that ebike probably would've been toast years ago, never mind being able to source replacement batteries.
