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.

No, I'm simplifying it to "If you want to use rule-breaking as reason to ban a class of vehicle, you have to apply it to all vehicles".
Or even shorter: "Don't ban e-bikes for bullshit reasons"
But you don't have to. And you wouldn't treat everything the same since they aren't the same. It's like saying when designing traffic routes, you have to treat every class of vehicle the same. Of course you wouldn't, you'd consider prevalence, design goals, feasibility, need, all kinds of things.
Simplifying too much is a bad thing.
But the comment I answered at the beginning of this chain did.
They're applying it to e-bikes. They said nothing about being an universal policy that affects any other vehicles the exact same way.
