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.

Those Varias do seem pretty great! I'm using a Sofirn headlamp right now and it's pretty good for the price but I wouldn't mind an upgrade eventually.
One thing about the varia that really helps make you more visible is that it will flash faster as a vehicle approaches.
Yeah, neat that it gives you a heads up too.
Yes, very useful on rural roads and quieter suburban streets. It also works well on trails where e-scooters/e-bikes might ride up behind you without warning (to pass).
But in a city, the radar just goes off constantly, so it's less useful if you only ride in busy city streets.
