"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.

It is at world level, according to WHO

https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality

In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death "for children and young adults aged 5–29 years":

Ah yeah, based off what I read that makes sense with that wider age range.
