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.

Would a folding ebike fit the bill? Something small enough that you could lug it indoors if need be, but also with large enough (20-inch?) tires to not bottom-out on potholes? You'd get the benefit of being seated during the ride, many have removable batteries, and if the bus's bike rack is full, you can fold it and carry on.
As a rule, I don't ride e-scooters, as they're fairly nerfed by California law, in addition to the troubled state of bike lanes near me. So I would steer you -- pun intended -- toward an ebike. Around me, I see a lot of people on Lectric ebikes, so I assume they're at least decently competent. Of course, British Columbia is a fair bit different than Northern California.
