What is micromobility? I am unfamiliar with this term.
It's things like bikes, ebikes, electric scooters, monowheels, etc.
My powered wheelchair!

Oh I love electric scooters in cities! I always get excited when I visit a city that has those Lime or other brand rentable ones.
I own my own private electric scooter and it's great. Makes for a quite pleasant commute, especially since I have a route that goes on protected bike lanes all the way from my apartment to my work!
Thanks. that makes sense.
So like motorcycles?
Among other things include bikes, scooters, monowheels, etc.

He's still with us. Why isn't he doing stuff today? I feel like he'd be a huge YouTube star if he did his schtick reading Twitter threads or comment sections super fast. Stuff like that.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !micromobility@lemmy.world

Seems like all posts about e-bikes. Let’s see some pedal power!
I have pedal foldable bike(because I don't want cramming unfoldable bike in elevator pornography) and regular scooter. I want escooter, but will buy it only after 3d printer.
Cars, but like, Hot Wheels size.
It's a relatively new term to refer to extremely small and lightweight vehicles generally used for short-distance rides. Things like bicycles, rollers, very small electric vehicles like e-rollers, e-bikes, segways etc.
Wasn’t there a toy in the 80s called Micromobiles?
