Jokes aside, it would be pretty cool if you could hit a button and your ebike would just show up.

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.

Part of the problem with e-bikes and scooters is that they all end up at the same spots, or people just leave them places. If they had homing or auto-redistribution, it would be much more effective.
A herd of empty bicycles glide in the direction of the stadium. Prediction programs have summoned them. Is the game over? No, the score is so far in one team's favor that many spectators are about to leave.
Oh, are you from Philly, too?
Kamen rider really was ahead of it's time.
This is way too heavy, but here's an example of a self balancing two wheeled vehicle from 1967.
If self driving tech was applied to motorcycles and it was proven to be significantly safer that way, only then would I consider riding one.
I'd consider it a lot more if all vehicles had effective autonomous driving (unfortunately, none of them do).
