"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.

Exactly like minimum-wage, it needs to be calibrated to the local context, not to any ruler-brained arbitrary-rule.
in a region where it costs $10,000 per year to live, min-wage must provide that.
in a region where it costs $200,000 per year to live, min-wage must provide that.
the allowed power for a small 11yo child must be in-proportion to their muscle power, that their nervous-system can work-with, AND it must be in-proportion to their nervous-system's having grown-in sufficiently ( now I remember that some jurisdictions have a minimum-age for ATV's of 16yo, to drastically-reduce deaths .. )
The allowed power for an NFL eighthback ( or whatever the hell they have in sports ), cannot be legislated to be identical to that for a smaller/weaker person.
IOW, you need to have proportional e-assist motors, up to a certain limit, then stop, because now you're in motorcycle-territory, too much.
Arbitrary, context-free legislation ( like that gaslighting of claiming that "poverty" means being below $2US/day, no matter what cost-of-living one is subject to ), is dishonest.
Always has been.
