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.

A properly fitted bike saddle should not make you sore during normal use.
Most folks who ride a bike ride a crappy soft foam saddle that makes your butt sore after more than 10m of use.
Good saddles cost over $50+, most folks are buying entire bikes that cost about $100-200... on which the saddle costs $5-10.
I doubt this mechanical seat will be cheaper than an entry level , but properly built normal saddle.
And frankly the fit matters the most. Most shops will give your seat a quick review/adjust if you go in and buy anything.
As a person whos 100kg i wouldnt agree
There are many folks at 100kg or more riding comfortably. Having properly fitted equipment is critical.
I recommend stopping by a bike shop, they'll often review your fit for free or very cheap the difference is massive.
Double negative intended?
