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.

When I bought an e-bike for my commute I decided to splurge on one with a belt and I regret nothing. You spend less time messing with it and the bike is a lot nicer to work on when you don't have to worry about getting grease all over your hands. If I was to buy a regular bike I'd see if something with a belt was available within my price range because I like it that much better.
Mind you, I had that bike for less than two years at this point. I don't know how a belt behaves in the long run.
Any idea how many miles you have on it so far?
769 km (478 mi). I do a lot of work from home so the bike doesn't see very heavy use.
Yeah, that belt will probably last you for years lol
