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.

Too big for micromobility and too limited to replace a car? That's just the kind of niche that nobody wants to be in in traffic.
I would argue recumbent trikes and even velomobiles still count as micromobility, but they're really niche and unlikely to replace cars any time soon because they're really niche.
Also, expensive which helps make them really niche.
Bonus also: Most places don't have dedicated infrastructure for micromobility and until they do that will be a massive deterrent for many people.
