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.

Sure reducing vans is fine and great but full on replacing them seems not very plausible
No one is proposing "full on replacing them". We can, however, replace a whole LOT of them like they're starting to do in Europe.
Sheesh, is this really the micromobility community? This is such a modest proposal. "Well, we still need cars sometimes!" is exactly the sort of nonsense straw-person you hear all the time that prevents any iota of change from the car dependent status quo.
so u dont live in europe and presume that u live in the states, so it shouldn't be strange to u that there are parts in the us where the weather isn't forgiving and temps could reach aggressive levels. u can't surmount that heat/and humidity with cargo ebikes/bikes.
I don't think I've ever read a comment that said so much and yet so little at the same time
