"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.

So here's my take on this.
Prosecute reckless drivers, confiscate vehicles whether they are ebikes going 50 kmh on a sidewalk or pickups rolling coal.
Somehow nobody cares about overpowered cars like overpowered ebikes. Why is selling a car that can go 240 or 400 kmh okay while selling a bike that can go 45 kmh not okay? IMO stopping both would be great.
Performance limits in Watts are stupid. The limits are for rated power, which is completely arbitrary. The most common Bosch ebike motor sold here is rated at 250W, yet "peaks" at 800W, and can maintain that peak for hours. So what is even the point?
Same exact argument for pot vs booze. Both legal or both not. And I 100% agree with you. On the roads, under 16 is a no-no. Speeding is a no-no. Enforce that and leave the rest of us alone.
Not that in a million years do I see "leave us alone" as an actual possibility.
Some people are obnoxious and ruin the fun for the rest of us. See drones.
