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.

That article is all over the place. It buries the lede, and mentions all sorts of irrelevant aspects without actually putting those facts together in any coherent manner. The opening paragraph talks about speed limit changes that motorists should expect.... and then mentions exactly zero of them. Also, the headline is categorically wrong: these are changes within New York City, made possible by a change in state law. I can't actually recommend reading the body of that article; it says so much but tells so little.
If you want an overview of how broad NYC's Vision Zero plan is, see this press release: https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pr2024/reduce-speed-limits-select-locations.shtml . The only thing that press release doesn't mention is the 15 MPH (25 kph) limit for ebikes.
Though I still find that suspect because: 1) cars don't have speed governors, and 2) it's Eric Adams that's touting that particular policy. But I digress.
