Ebikes, scooters, longboards: 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.

I'd be afraid of getting my nuggets trapped in the confluence zone.
๐ต Help! My ball have dropped into the confluence zone! ๐ต
๐ถ Highway tooo the CONFLUENCE ZOOOONE ๐ถ
A wild ZZ Top appears!
The ball-scissors...
Thought the same, sitting on this things looks about as risky as teabagging the moving parts in an elliptical machine.
They've had test subjects already. That contingency must have already been compensated for or it would never have made it to market.
That being said, the visuals are horrifying.
Still, I'd like to give it a try. I'm done having kids, regardless.
Kids is one thing but I'm envisioning a balls version of the stick-in-the-spokes meme, with you writhing in agony in the road until an SUV comes along and puts you out of your misery.
I was thinking more of the chipmunk with his balls caught in the fence.
Might just sensually juggle them instead of chewing them like a Sami native.
That might be an interesting ride. Maybe they'll release the "XS" model next year.
I can't really tell from the visuals but it looks like they don't really get that close together. The two sides seem like they say hello to each other, but they don't really get that close. So presumably but there's quite some gap in the mechanism.
Just tuck them into your inguinal canals when you go for a ride.
My god, man!
