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.

Thats because the added weight and power tears up trails, and the stewards hate that shit.
But that's not actually enforceable?
According to federal law, I mean?
I'm guessing each state and county can make their own laws
A "no motor vehicles" sign would not prohibit e-bikes. However, I see no reason why a trail couldn't enforce prohibition of a list of categories that includes both motor vehicles and e-bikes as separate items.
Why not? An electric motor is, by definition, a motor.
Legal definitions aren't the same as dictionary definitions.
By not public, trails are private because they belong to the state, you mean?
They aren't private usually, they're public, but maintained by volunteers.
I helped maintain a trail for a couple years back when ebikes were just starting to be a thing, and they absolutely tore up trails. We had to put up additional signs (from the very limited budget) just for ebikes.
Ah, got it. I don't go on tiny trails or dirtbiking trails.
Pretty much all hardpack or paved.
What aren't, specifically, and what is the difference of what?
