Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, longboards, unicycles: 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.

I bought a budget Giant for around $800. I also have a Gravity bike that cost $300. The Gravity is a better bike. Even their budget bikes are overpriced.
I bought a Cube in 2020. I've just checked: the equivalent 2024 model, with pretty much identical components, (but a full 3% lighter!!) is exactly 60% more expensive.
Yeah, pass. I can wait another 5 years without a new one.
I bought my Giant Warp DS2 in 2004. I still have it. There it shall remain.
There isn't a damn thing wrong with it (and it's motorized now). 26" wheels were good enough for our forefathers, so they're good enough for me.
