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.

OK, but this appears to carry a maximum of two people and doesn't look like it has a trunk, so...how would this be better than public transit? Realistically, anyone who bought this would still need a full sized car to support a family of more than two, so this thing would only work for single people or childless couples. It's cool, and certainly better than everyone owning their own sedan, but not exactly a practical solution to car culture.
That's kind of like asking, "why do people buy ebikes?" These seem the fit the same nich but like in 1944. Obviously it's not a perfect solution, humans and perfect solutions mix like oil and water. (Salad dressing is mostly oil and water, so I guess that's the perfect solution)
