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.

Weight restrictions also seem silly, a trail is going to get the same amount of damage if a bike + person weighs 300+ pounds, regardless of whether that's a bike packer, a very heavy person on a bike, or an ebike. Or someone riding that ungodly heavy new Brompton.

Speed limits seem more practical, but the only people I've seen dangerously overtaking have been the spandex types that have zero time for things like traffic laws while grinding for PRs on Strava. Men of a certain age :P
