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.

Is there a requirement for how much assistance the bike can give. Because I see kids hardly pedaling and still going 25km/h.
And yeah, these bikes are upgraded by people and not following code. But enforcement has started. The police needed new Rollerbanks.. and these have now been distributed. They can now check mopeds and e-bikes on the same device.
But then, I'd be for age restricting e-bikes and possibly even giving them tags and requiring bike helmets... so...

I may be wrong, but IIRC the assistance limit was 1:1.
