Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: 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.

Cargo ebikes can be very handy when you need to haul stuff, but they're kinda big and clumsy when you don't. The Convoy C.01 was created with that fact in mind, as it temporarily converts regular bikes into e-cargoes within a matter of seconds.

If it actually finds use... neat.... I guess

I love hauling with my bike....

but you seriously don't need a $4k cargo e-bike or an e-bike with a $600 trailer.

I am sure those things are nice but I move 75+ lbs at a time with my single speed and trash picked $150 kid trailer that I converted to haul cargo

The thing I like about bikes is how they can be as cheap as you want

Agree, but it helps to be able bodied and not in a hilly area.
