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.

High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

I love biking, specifically unpowered bikes because they are light and nimble. Heat makes sense though. I was thinking more people who already have a bike or even an e-bike. Scooters need licenses and then you're on the road, which maybe is a good thing if the bike infrastructure sucks.
