High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

    Ugh I typed a lot and Lemmy (or Sync) glitched and lost it.

    Anyway, I completely agree.

    Futuremotion makes a great product but they’re an anti-right-to-repair shitty patent troll company.

    Also Floatwheel is awesome and entirely right-to-repair. And they give the middle finger to all patents and are happily operating with crypto. I paid them $2000 for their version of a Onewheel and I’ll do it again when the sequel releases in a week.

    edit: it released today

      Huh, I’m not gonna buy one because I have 2-3 more bikes/ ebikes and an electric unicycle in line in front of it, but that’s really cool. I don’t see schematics, but I didn’t look very hard. I did look at the parts section and that’s cool. Looks like they might have gotten their start making kits for other manufacturers vehicles.
