Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: 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.

Minimum 2 locks. And the lock featured in the article wouldn't cut it. Or rather it would be cut... and quite easily too.

Possibly even 3 locks if you have a very valuable e-bike. But honestly I would just get a beat up junker bike and ride that instead if you need to park it in iffy places.

I just use one: A skunklock chemical but I also ride a shitty ebike and live/work in areas where theft isn't as huge a problem. Plus I usually lock up in areas I can see so if someone tries anything I can always stroll up and... discourage them from doing something foolish that will result in their embarrassment or injury.

Even so I still use a piece of string to tie up my old junker bike. But at least it was free!
