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.

Why? Aren't they prepping for the lack of an energy grid?
Solar is cheap. 100W foldable panels that fit in a backpack are common. Preppers aren't necessarily preparing for Armageddon. They take lessons from history, where social breakdown caused shortages. They prepare to not be able to buy food, fuel, and have water supplies interrupted or contaminated. An efficient electric off-road vehicle like an e-bike fits into this thinking. , Many preppers have a "beta" site if their home is overrun or unlivable. Being able to travel 30 miles stealthily, avoiding public roads where desperate people will try to take what you have is a desirable option.
Damn, you make it sound sensible to have atleast basic prepper facilities and stockpiles.
If you have the space it's easy to start stocking up. Next time you're shopping buy 2 or 3 instead of 1. You're going to use it anyways and most packaged items will last at least a year on the shelf.
