Just joined the cult of the ebike. Get in here and brag about how much you love the micro mobility revolution!

I'm cycle pilled and fully electric. I've got wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth. I've got places to be and sweat stains in my pits. I'm moisturized, unbothered, in my (protected!) bike lane, and flourishing. I can't fully ditch my car yet for intermittent long distance commute reasons, BUT, I think I will be able to when I switch projects next year. Capitalism is a fuck, death to AmeriKKKa, may crude oil go to $1000 a gallon!
What's bad about it?
The companies that run rentals are quite scummy. They come in to a city, dump a bunch of scooters/bikes everywhere, and do not take any responsibility for them or their users. I do however think it’s generally an improvement over car traffic and wish it would be something municipalities or transit would run instead.
I mean the main problem with that business model is that people would park them on the sidewalk instead of the (car) parking spots where they belong. Because car parking is holy.
Ill write later, probably Monday, if you are interested still
