Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, longboards, 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.

My existing mid-drive Class 3 ebike weights 95 lbs (43 kg) loaded. What could I replace it with?

Not so much squatting the bike from below, a strap from the seat tube to the headstock would give you good height adjustment to get it high enough to make getting it up the stairs easier but not so high your lifting it needlessly high, if you're shorter or its still really awkward it also might be worth trying a barbell pad around the top bar of the frame putting your arm through the triangle, squatting down and hoisting it onto your shoulder. See whats more comfortable.
Forget how "normal" it looks to others, its a not insignificant weight and lifting it awkwardly is asking for injury.
Ah, now I understand what you mean. I'll give it a go! Thanks!
