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.

The conclusion from the Forest Service about ebikes having similar trail impacts as acoustic mountain bikes may be beneficial to convincing other open-space and park agencies to open their lands to ebike riders, for the same access reasons as at Tahoe National Forest.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting ebikes be allowed to plow through designated Wilderness Areas or sensitive wetlands or ecosystems. But where it make sense, getting people outdoors to explore and enjoy should be a priority.
