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.

Not sure I'd call a big enduro sled 'micromobility' - and I say that as someone who has two enduro bikes. They are just about the worst possible bikes for urban use - and urban use is about the worst possible use of this bike. The Vala wants to be pointed down the sort of steep lines you couldn't descend on foot.

Beautiful bike (if overpriced) though.

Micromobility is for everyone IMO, not just big city dwellers. For some, commutes can be partly or entirely wilderness/rough trails. That said, yeah if you're in a city you probably don't want a giant MTB
