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.

If it wasn't for the icy roads around here during the winter, I would absolutely love one of these.
Wondering when they'll start making two-wheel drive motorcycles. Something trivially easy for EVs. Not so for gas.
They exist. They are specialty, and expensive, and their handling characteristics are decidedly strange. Especially at road speeds. To the very last one they're intended for use in mucky off-road conditions.

The Rokon Trail-Breaker (not street legal, at least not here)
The Yamha WR450F 2-Trac
Also the various Christini 2WD conversions, which have been around for ages.
I believe there are also some concept street bikes from the Japanese makers with proposed electric/hybrid part time 2WD systems mostly intended to allow you to launch the things off the line faster without flipping over onto your arse.
If you have space, why not get this for the majority of the year and then car for the rest?
Instructions unclear. Have a car, also wound up with seven motorcycles.
I wonder if studded tyres would work out on them. It's quite effective on bikes, I'm able to bike through winter in Stockholm safely with them.
