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.

USB-PD 3.1 can go up to 48V 5A for a 240W output.
Granted, almost none exist yet even though the spec is four years old, I know of one 180W charger and a handful of 240W rated cables, but the possibility is there.
And while 36V & 48V are the most common ebike batteries, they go up to 92 volts for the "not sure how this isn't just an electric motocycle" ones (Surron etc).
