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.

At this point, the bill has already passed the Senate and the Assembly, so it'll soon head to the governor's desk, as is the norm around June of even-numbered years.
If you are a California constituent who cares about bicycle and ebike legislation, I would encourage you to sign up for Calbike's email updates on impending legislation of great significance to bicycling in this state. This bill is fairly minor, but who's to say something more momentous won't come next year?
Likewise, if your region has its own bicycle advocacy group (eg San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, BikeSD), get updates from them too.
Today's ebikes have only been legalized since 2016, so what is advocated for now will set the tone for decades to come.
