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.

That's just wild. As in: the legislators seem to have gone feral. Does anyone know their reasons, or does the mention of "lame duck" imply it slipped through something like the "washing up" at the end of a Westminster session, with the parties doing deals about what to pass unchallenged?
Gotta wonder what their motives to push for this are. How many of them have ties to the automotive industry? Energy industry?
As a person who hates Electric Bikes, I am for this.
I watch them speed by, way too close most times, while I bicycle on safe areas (especially, Bicycle <ONLY & NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES> Paths). All (slow-fast) Electric Bikes have been needing serious regulating from the beginning.
The only thing I dislike about this regulating aspect is it seems to only regulate low speed Electric Bikes.
If you think that people who already ignore laws like those on speeds and safe passing distances are not simply going to also ignore this new law, then you are illogical and likely to be disappointed. The main effect of this law will be to further reduce the number of law-abiding e-bike riders and put more cars on the roads.
Don't let your hatred for some e-bike riders make you agree with some truly awful short-sighted laws.
I do not disagree, both is true.
