"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.

Not just China IIRC and the range isn't exactly insane, but it seems to more or less on par with the best lithium batteries we have (a little better perhaps), so that's still pretty great. They might be a little lighter too.
All things considered, that's pretty amazing for first generation tech and hopefully it will mean battery fires will pretty much become a thing of the past all over the world (eventually).
