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.

I was thinking of asking our regional cycling coalition if they'd be interested... then stuff like "what happens if someone breaks it?" and "what's needed to get members to borrow one for use?" etc... then my enthusiasm for that idea disappeared, as they'd have to basically build a program around it.
But fuck, maybe my city will offer a "green grant" if I bought one myself! LOL
They may! Or maybe you could just get a close group of friends together to start, and put a little aside for maintenance. You could also find a local company (bike shop?) to sponsor you and throw their advertising on the side of it. That way it's at least partially self-sustainable
