"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.

Probably deaths per distance traveled rather than vehicle count.

Yeah, I think both metrics are valuable. Also the ratio of incidents where pedestrians did/didn't die might be useful.

Death per distance traveled shouldn't be use on thing that usually travel short distance though, because pedestrian death is the highest if measured this way, making the impression that walking is dangerous.
