Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: 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.

Yeah, there's zero chance anybody involved with writing anything over there is qualified to write that headline. First and foremost, the obvious marketing graphic from the manufacturer with the stamp style lettering "PASSED" is just bullshit. Flat out bullshit. An additional example is this entirely made up statement,
What? WHAT?? So it's "hardened", it locks physically closed, and the claim here is that you can't use enough force to destroy those puny articulating joints? Yeah, no.
And,
Well, we see the bolt cutters made it through what I assume is a thick shitty plastic coating and attempted to cut the metal all at once, from a direction in which the force over the jaws are minimized. Nice marketing trick, but here in the real world I'd take nibbles out of that metal strip in no time or I'd rotate my cutters and split that thing in no time.
Oh, okay, someone doesn't know what a nut splitter is or what it does, and they just repeated the marketing copy they received. Nicely done.
And of course we haven't even got to the lock itself, which I guarantee that at $125 for "hardened steel", they didn't splurge on a good one. Man Electrek really is just garbage at all times on all topics.
Most micromobility journalism is pretty bad unfortunately.
That is unfortunate. I don't really follow the topic, but at one point I was looking for an e bike with low range and everything I could find was just click bait garbage. Didn't end up needing it in the long run, so never bothered to keep up.
REI Co-op, Aventon Pace, or Lectric XP 3 would have been decent choices if you're ever looking for something like that in the future. Wait for a good sale and you could probably get one for relatively little.
Thanks for the tips!
