micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: 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.

If the ultimate goal is to regulate speed and size, power output as a multiple of rider input is an interesting wag to measure that for "normal" ebikes. Not necessarily good, but interesting. Specialized advertises their bikes like this: "2x You" or "4x You". Part of what makes it interesting is that I don't know how manufacturers could figure out your power output on a bike that doesn't have a torque sensor. My Specialized has a power/torque sensor, but many of the bikes I test rode only had cadence sensors.
I know Ride1up uses some sort of voltage trickery to simulate it. It's not perfect, but it's surprisingly good IMO.
Huh, I wouldn't have thought of that. Mildly brilliant on their part.
I've only had my Portola for a little while, but so far I am impressed especially for a budget bike.
