micromobility - Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

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.
In the USA, ebikes use a three-tier classification, originally articulated by federal import laws and then incorporated into state laws, which govern what sort of ebikes are allowed on the streets and bike lanes of that state. California adopted the federal ebike classes verbatim: https://www.calbike.org/california-e-bike-classifications/
A Class 3 ebike is a pedal-assisted ebike, providing assist up to 45 kph (28 mph), using a motor rated up to 750 W continuous. This is roughly analogous to the speed of an "S-pedelec" in Europe, although a USA Class 3 ebike is not a moped and does not require license and registration, and the USA enforces a lower power limit than the 1 kW or 4 kW limit for "S-pedelecs".
