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.

Conversion kits are great bang for your buck. There are some decent budget options out there too though like Lectric and ENGWE. A good bike with a conversion kit would still be a better deal though.
Also seems like a fun project, and possibly a real head turner out in the world.
Just be sure to get quality parts, especially the battery!
Thanks fartswithanaccent, safety first!
Knowing is half the battle, GI Joe. etc.
I'm a fat guy - but when I cruise around in my neighborhood on my ebike the way guys turn their heads you'd think I was one of those famous "Chris" guys.
