Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, 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 got my ebike in winter. If I took a car I would still need winter gear once I get out. Plus, I’m supposed to schedule exercise for myself in the day anyway - doing it on a bike just means I accomplish it in transit.
And if you're disabled fuck you!
I genuinely don't know why you're so pissed and toxic about the idea of it. If you can't, you can't, no one force you to do it.
Because they are trolling.
Well, they were trolling.
Now they are banned.
Doesn't seems to be the case on my end, maybe it's not federated :/
Huh, thanks for letting me know. I hopped on the home instance and banned them again just in case it wasn't syncing from fedia.io - the account is definitely banned from this community.
FYI - Banning them doesn't remove their posts.
Disabled=toxic, got it.
Interesting conclusion you arrived in.
Speaking of toxic, enjoy your ban!
Banning people who disagree with you, now that's toxicity
Your comment was "disagreeing" with someone else entirely and you are clearly here to harass people, but nice try I guess.
Around half of disabled people can't drive, but everyone who can drive can use some kind of micro-mobility.
Even some who cannot drive can still use some sort of micromobility.
Hell, IMO, a powered wheelchair totally counts as micromobility.
Micromobility expands options for disabled people though all sorts of devices. One of my friends is a paraplegic and rides his Bowhead all over the place (looks badass too).
