micromobility - Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility

I'm always skeptical at products that also happen to show up as Instagram ads or sponsored posts.

With that said, I do pine for a future where people can and do have multiple bikes for different purposes. In the USA, there is a compulsion to seek out The Car That Does Everything, meaning an automobile that fulfils every mobility need the owner has. Rarely do people find a single such vehicle, and it's partly why households often have more cars than people.

I'd like to see that play out with bikes and ebikes. Imagine a world where homes have a "single car" garage space, but it's used to store the 7 two-wheelers for a family of four. Each parent has their own commuter ebike for errands alone around town and going to work. One parent keeps an acoustic road bike for weekend rides out to the nearby mountain. There's the family e-cargo trike that fits both adults and the small children, for family outings. Each child has their own acoustic BMX bike to go to school or hang out with friends, and they both share one folding e-bike for going father out or to bring with them when taking the train or bus.
