Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, longboards, 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.

Really, nobody needs to be going faster than 28mph downtown, anyways. The only vehicles that should be going that fast or faster downtown are BRTs, trams, and light+ heavy rail. 18-20 mph is what we should be aiming for for cars, just like we do for active school zones and construction zones. Speed humps and narrow roads to force cars to slow down. That minimizes pedestrian deaths and injuries, and pushes people towards public transit and biking/ebiking.
Agreed, and mode segregated networks so car traffic occurs on a few primary circulators while other streets receive mostly last mile traffic.
