micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
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.

So I have good news for you ;)
There are many countries where "having pedals" is the precondition for using the bike lanes. And then using the bike lanes gives you lots of advantage during heavy traffic in the cities.
There's your market.
This doesn't really respond to my point though - a cargo bike is superior in every regard, and has pedals.
Ewwww no. No no no no NO. Fuck no. I don't want to share my bike lane with these things! They're heavier than most motorcycles! That's dangerous as all hell. A rear-end collision is likely to be deadly. Americans might be used to Surron being able to slap a couple fake pedals on their motorcycles to skirt the law, but that's absolutely insane. The point of a bike lane is to reduce conflict between heavy vehicles and fragile road users, not to separate "pedal havers" from "pedal not havers".
Thankfully in France - where they're from - and presumably most of the EU, bicycles with too much power (here in Belgium it's "speed pedelecs" which are capped at 4kW /45 km/h) are banned from all cycle lanes except where authorized by explicit signage.
