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.

The headline is wonky -- as usual. The TLDR is a collab to produce "street and urban-focused aesthetic", rather than riding gear which is somehow specific to electric motorbikes.

<rant>

Why do editors insist on such faulty headlines? Street-inspired gear is already a gaping hole in the market which would already draw clicks and eyeballs for an existing motorbike-oriented audience. I can understand that perhaps electric motorbike riders are more likely to be in/around cities, but it's a disservice to urban non-electric riders who might be looking for a look that's not entirely utilitarian. Don't gild the lily!
