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.

The moment Europe gets its shit together and implemented a standardized charger, with governments then enforcing its use and maybe subsidizing existing gas stations to offer quick charge options so we have a somewhat dense charge network, I'll immediately switch. Electric bikes are superior in every way except range.
I don't have a car anymore, the bike is for fun, not for sensibility. But I drive fast and do weeks-long trips and wild-camping. Impossible to do with electric bikes. My real range of bikes advertising 150km is closer to 60-70km, and I don't use highways: but hard accelerating and braking on curvy country roads kills range.
Temperature doesn't come into this at all. With the right gear, neither summer heat but winter freeze is really a problem.
