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.

Alternative title: I got my wife an electric bike. Here's why
Alternative title: I got my wife an electric motorcycle. Here's why.
It's not a motorbike though, that's the point. The article talks about 250 watt 25kph/15mph pedelec. The misleading title just wants you to assume the opposite.
15mph is certainly reasonable, and not "as fast as a car." A parked car, maybe, which in city traffic may feel the same.
But yeah, 15 is reasonable; humans can run that fast. Sharing a bike lane with a motorized bike going 25 is where it starts feeling dangerous, and where it starts to be in car range.
Thanks for pointing that out.
