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.

Skateboarder here.
The smaller your wheels, the smaller pebble it takes to stop the board and pitch you off. And the smaller pebbles are, the harder they are to see. And the faster you go, the harder it is to see small pebbles.
So, yeah, dangerous. I was thrown off a skateboard hitting a pebble I didn’t see at <15 mph and cut my face open. I’d hate to same rock at 45 mph.
Yeah, even 28 is pretty fast (class III top speed). I refuse to get on anything with sub 20 inch wheels if I'm doing something above 20mph. Crashing on tarmac sucks so bad, at least there's dirt if you are mountain biking, or snow if you are skiing. Tarmac is like falling on a belt sander.
