No, it isn't, because it's a bicycle. If you want to go faster, get an electric motorcycle, and get your license which teaches you how to handle those speeds.

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.
