Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

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.

It's largely like this where I live and I just ride my bike/ebike like a car. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where I can mostly get around on streets that aren't super fast, but when it gets sketchy I'll just walk my bike on the sidewalk or even ride if it's not crowded (not technically legal, but nobody cares as long as you aren't being an idiot about it). Alternately, I skate on the sidewalk or side of the street but I prefer bikes.
