Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, 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.

This is why I:
Choose the type of bike for the activity I'm doing. If it's extremely long range and remote, I'll use a standard bike.
If I'm going on a long range ebike trip, I either start with a smaller battery and progress to a larger one for the return trip, or two, manually pedal out as far as I can and then use the battery for the return trip.
I really only use ebikes for city travel though. (Though we have done 45 mile trips on a whim because ebikes give you so much stamina)!
My ebike is used exclusively for fast short trips where I need to carry stuff. Anything else I ride a bicycle because I know it'll never run out of power (unless it's really shitty out, then I cave and drive usually).
Battery budgeting is perhaps an intermediate skill in that you need to understand how your bike and battery works, but its a necessary skill. Low assist levels for longer is usually much more efficient than 0 assist followed by fuller assist.
I usually do! My ebike is single speed, so it's pretty fine unless I need to go up steep hills.
I was still at 50% after a 45 mile ride. And I usually only charge it to 85% ish. :)
