"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.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the motorbikes/motor scooters, the thing in OP is an electric bike, but priced 5x more than high-end electric scooters.

I was talking about anything with bars for the purpose of the poncho: It'd work fine on a moped, scooter, bicycle, whatever.

I suppose its a bit difficult to say what the karbike is more similar to. But as its pedal assist I would have thought closer to an ebike than an emoped.

Though it costs more than both combined.
