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.

I suppose with USB-C, you could flip it around and use the bike battery as a giant power bank you can plug your laptop or whatever into?
Some e-bikes already have USB outputs. Maybe not laptop-capable yet, though.
Yeah mine does, but it's a USB-A. Not sure of its max output, but it's rather limited compared to what USB-C could theoretically give you.
Many do. Mine doesn't and I'm pissed about that because using GPS for hours really drains mobile batteries. I even considered hotwiring a USB port onto my bike battery but thought better of it and bought a powerbank instead. Very dumb and irritating situation.
I can do that with one of my lawnmower batteries. It doesn't charge via USB C, but it does have a USB port and can function as a battery bank.
I'm so annoyed that I cannot use my 625Wh Bosch battery as a power bank for festivals. But it's proprietary (both hardware and software) and Bosch doesn't sell an adapter for that (because they hate money or something)
