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.

Are governments doing more to control ebikes than firearms?
Given that New Jersey is one of if not the most restrictive state for firearms regulations in the country, I don't think this analogy is quite as sharp as you were expecting.
TIL, thank you
But I'm still serious. Places outside nj are trying to pass e bike regulations too, and I'm sure the panties are twisting harder than for gun control.
When's the last time you were required to buy and maintain insurance for your gun?
Everyone should be required to buy and maintain insurance for their gun.
I don't disagree; but the fact that you don't have to insure a gun while you do have to insure a bicycle is the point here...
Nobody has said there are no gun laws; just that currently there seems to be more interest in restricting access to ebikes than there is in restricting access to guns, though guns cause far more societal harm.
While I don't have a direct reference to the numbers for this; injury and death caused by firearms seems to be far more common and more severe than ebike related injuries - at least in America.
A couple of years ago. I had to pick up my bike a few days after buying it.
