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 things are a terror. People rent them, and then they drop them off randomly when they arrive at their destinations, usually in the pedestrian parts of the roads. Walking there gets challenging even when you are agile, but for elderly or handicapped people this means they have to step on the road to get around the mess.
Yeah I hate it when people just leave them in the middle of the sidewalk like they're the main character in a video game or something.
