micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
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.

In the US ebikes can output 750W and still legally be an ebike. I feel like everyone forgets that and thinks the 250W EU limit applies here too.
Also more torque doesn't necessarily mean more power.
Well, 1000w is larger than 750w so it does not matter where you are, its still above the limit.
It may be 1000W peak input into the controller. Which could result in 750W output at the wheel.
"May be" and "could" aren't necessarily intrepretations of the spec.
An in shape MTB rider puts out 200-250w. This is still 4-5x what a human can do. Its going to cause an increase in damage to trails, and vastly increase the rate of accidents - both of the rider and others.
I rarely to never see people on "ebikes" show up to repair trails where I live, but they're always on the trails...
They're still limited to 20 mph for Class 1, a lot slower than a pedal bike would go down a hill, the extra power really only gets used going up hills.
