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.

Those are legal in Washington State but not in Oregon....but it's cheaper to ship to Oregon, then carry the thing on a trailer all the way back here. I've looked into this way too much. The craigslist prices are ridiculously high.
They are legal where I am, there's a dealer (importer) nearby. I'm leaning toward UTV for around the homes and a modest dump trailer for hauling. The idea of being in one of those mini trucks near the behemoth monster trucks driving around on these American roads scares the shit out of me and I don't think I would get used to it enough to feel good driving it and would probably never put a passenger in it with me.
There's at least one complete project where a Kei truck was turned electric. That was/is my plan. There's an opensource project using a Prius system to control a leaf motor with a diy battery. I'm sure more convenient systems are in the brew as well.
