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.

On the newer Bosch ones, the head unit functions as a remote key/killswitch when removed from the bicycle. They're pretty $$$ though

Yep. This guy is a moron. The cheap and easy thing to do is just steal the $500-1000 battery that’s held in by a shitty key. My bike low jacks itself.
Okay then, steal the battery 🤷♂️
The owner still has a bicycle to ride home on.
I've always thought they should make security cages for ebikes. The one thing I liked about my lectric xp was that the battery seemed hard to steal compared to others.
Especially those stupid triangle bag ones where its just Velcro.
