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 people are ripping around on dirt bikes already a Surron or similar night be a good bet. The only issue is then you lose it on the ability to pedal. There are similar bikes that also have vin numbers if you actually wanted to go legal at some point but dirt bikes aren't street legal without extras anyway and it sounds like enforcement is lax.
The electric unicycle idea is also pretty cool. They look to me like skiing but on the street. So you'd actually get exercise even if it's working different muscles than a bicycle. But if you go that route you'll need to go the extra mile on safety gear.
As someone else stated, 35mph the whole way is a lot on an ebike, even bringing that down to 30 extends the range a lot. There may be some road or gravel bike that has the range you're looking for if your flexible on the speed. Those seem more fun imo, but the YouTube channel TailhappyTV has shown off ebikes that go 100 miles on a charge. I haven't seen the speeds at which they go but in my opinion a long ride means more time to listen to audio books.
Either way good luck!
