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.

While this is a good road bike, the real time trial monsters are the faired recumbent bikes. I personally would prefer a faired recumbent over a car. It keeps you dry, you go to work in a reasonable time due to the speed, and you work out.
Recumbents are a great way to extent the distance you can commute with a bike without requiring electric support.
They are however less common, and thus car drivers dont always take them into account. So be careful when crossing roads.
That's another advantage of the faired ones. They draw more attention and in the event that you do crash, they offer some protection as well.
If only I could afford one.
