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 vast, vast majority of drivers where I am are fully aware of motorcycles and other road users
Don't assume every driver is the same the world over
What makes you think your region is somehow better at that than the other regions? The reality is that you'll find careless people everywhere. And there is a difference between "very loud chopper shaking windows" which is a dick move, and "motocycle with a regular engine that you can hear". Electric motorcycles are 100% silent, you only hear the tires. It's basicaly like encountering a bike on the road. There absolutely needs to be some feedback for people to know about them, especially when they're overtaking in traffic etc.
