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 you owned a Bugatti Chiron, would you drive it at 300 mph? Because that's how fast it goes.
When's the last time you drove your car as fast as it goes?
So should we ban all cars which can exceed speed limits? Or like... could we rely on people just not using the full power at their disposal, and obeying a speed limit?
Idk, seems to me it's more or less worked for cars so...
Dont be a dolt. People with cars like that take them on closed tracks and indeed may go all the way to top speed.
Yeah. You can take them on a course and you can drive them at top speed.
That wasn't the question. The question was how often do you actually use the top speed on an average vehicle? The answer is "practically never".
Yet you're pretending like the same doesn't apply for scooters and people would be blazing 100mph all the time if the scooter has a top speed of 100mph.
You're perfectly fine having several ton weighing machines which can do like 120-300mph on the roads and trust that people will behave with them, but something that's 40 times lighter and has at most double the top speed somehow can't be driven responsibly?
"Don't be a dolt."
I am pretending no such thing, as I am not who you were arguing with, you churlish jackass. Now begone, Ive blocked you and your nonsense.
You're defending his argument, while refusing to answer my very simple "why would you drive a scooter at 100% speed all the time when you do that with literally no other vehicle, be it a car or a push bike?"
So yeah. Stop being a "churlish dolt"
