micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
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.

Yep.
Whatever crashes new skaters imagine they'll have on this thing aren't even close to imaginative enough.
For the same reason, I’d like to see shared electric scooters regulated to have a minimum wheel size.
People don’t realize that the smaller wheel sizes are stopped by even smaller things, leading to more crashes as people get pitched off.
I think the small wheel sizes are there for the convenience of the operators, not the safety and comfort of the riders.
You already have downhill longboarders going 80kmh+. They wear full body armour, and I would hazard the same would be recommended here. It's not for everyone, but some people like speed and danger.
Man, that's cool! I don't think this if being marketed to them, though, and definitely doesn't sound like something a new skater should be doing.
