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.
What do you guys ride? I picked up a Specialized Turbo Vado SL a few years and 3-4k miles ago and feel like I made a good pick other than all the anti right-to-repair dealership/authorized service bullshit. It has pretty low levels of assistance, but they kept the bike very light so it feels like I'm riding it, just with stronger legs, and I can keep going when the battery dies without feeling like I'm lugging a trailer of bricks. It's the right bike for me, but there are a lot of decent bikes once you pass the budget price point and I think everyone should test ride as many as they can with an emphasis on diversity. I test rode maybe 8-12 bikes total. I liked the Trek Allant, Tern, Gazelle C380+, some Aventon bikes and I wish I could have tested the Priority Current. The Gazelle was the most interesting because I rode the C380+ and another one with a CVT and gates drive that felt good, but was too heavy for the hills around here without sufficient gearing to go up them without motor assistance.
I've got a shitty Engwe for now but eventually I kinda want to get a Tern Vektron.
