Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: 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.

It's certaily e-bikes that make nyc a nightmare
Just consider all the people annoyed by ebikes. Clearly cars are much more sane and rational. I mean what is a few thousand lives compared to some good old fashioned outrage.
Having been there quite often they have become a menace. It's not really personal transportation ebikes though. It's a symptom of the lack of any kind of crime enforcement. A large amount of no pedal electric scooters have become the choice for Uber eats type deliveries and they run reds all over, ride the sidewalk, and have even become a major tool in phone/purse snatching.
