"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.

Wow, 14kg ebike that doesn't look too bad. 60km pedal-assist range. Ticks a lot of boxes. US$1600, which while expensive, not incredibly so. Hope to see more ebikes like this.
250w rear hub motor though: Seems a little underpowered for the price/
250W is quite standard for pedal-assisted bicycles, no? It's also to keep in line with regulations, I think many countries have settled at 250W as the maximum.
I had a budget 500w hub and switch to a more expensive 250w mid and don't regret it at all. My old bike was cadence sensing and did all the work for me. It was fun to zip around but I really like the balance of the torque sensing.
I think a lot of Americans rely on the faster ebikes to ride in traffic though since the infrastructure sucks.
