"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.

I would agree. I bought my first bike last year and weighed the electric options, but it's just not there yet. If the battery tech and charging time are good in the future, I would consider it more seriously. For now, I also live in a very rural area and nobody is setting up charging stations up in the mountains.
