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.

NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE USB-C!!
We already have barrel jacks and if you want to you can include the transformer with the battery and use an IEC connector to plug it in. There are other standards that are better suited to some things.
If the USB-c bike is 3 grand and the mains plug bike is 1 and a half, you can take your marketing gimmick and shove it.
