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.
How's a motorbike that weighs more than 4 people, costs $12k, and can do 120 mph _micro_mobility? What's the criteria for being Micromobility, smaller than a Cybertruck? A Boeing 737?
Jokes aside, I've always considered micromobility the strictly-personal devices that don't need registration and can be picked up and brought into a train or a flat.
I guess lightweight is relative but I've always seen motorcycles, dirtbikes, motor scooters, etc. lumped in with micromobility to a degree (even ATVs and golf carts lol). Kind of a blurry line I guess, I would consider small EVTOLs micromobilty even.
Yeah, something (Honda) Monkey-sized might be fine but yeah with all the extra work/costs I'll just stick with the weak ebike I have already.
Automatic? 🤮
OMG someone does something that I don't like!Quick, let's vomit and throw a tantrum like we're a 4 year old!
Not sure I'd equate not liking something with throwing a tantrum but ok
Lighten up, Francis.
Says vomiting guy?
Correct. Congratulations on your ability to follow a comment thread.
Do you work for the Automatic Clutch Consortium or something? It's fucking hilarious that you are so upset over this. 😂
Says the guy who keeps going on about it
That's how I feel about cars lol
Agree. Nothing like driving through the gears manually. Or preparing a lower gear on advance, for an upcoming corner. Or feathering the clutch to keep the turbo engaged during a corner. Ahhh I love manual cars.
