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.

Selling price approx. $12,500 Canadian.

Honestly, not bad when you consider the utility. Way cheaper than a second car, or as a replacement for a car that's rarely used.

I just worry that as these e-bikes get more complex, it just serves as an additional barrier for people.

How is it any better than a Pedicab for $400? Or an electric Rickshaw that can carry three people, for half the price?

It is orders of magnitude better, they're not even in the same category but then again so is the price.

Personally, I stick with regular bicycles/ebikes because I'm not rich: They can still haul a ton of stuff with bags and that's not even mentioning trailers.

Wish I had an electric cargo bike like of of these but they're prohibitively expensive.
