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 also argue that setting very low motor wattage caps is dangerous for the same reasons you describe: inclines, getting away from cars, etc.
When I'm using my e-scooter, I rarely need to go faster than 25km/h (it caps out at <30km/h, anyway), but I had one that could reach over 40km/h, and it was a much more appropriate device for riding on roads alongside cars.
But none of that makes any difference if cars are going 100km/h+ on roads marked 50km/h max speed!
