I just want a kei car, or functional public transportation, or sidewalks with trees over them.
I think I'm honestly going to do with an ebike. Car prices have gotten insane lately. I no longer travel across the country for work, and it's just me so I think I could manage regular small trips to the grocery store and back on a bike that I didn't have to do all the work to propel.
There are quite a few decent options for a cargo e-bike for around $1200
You might also want to check out Chinese electric scooters.
Appreciate it, but I don't think I'd be able to understand them because I don't speak Chinese. ^^
There are importers that get every thing translated. They are also pretty simple. Basically the same thing as an electric bike with a different shape.
I was joking about not being able to understand a bike that spoke Chinese, and your response had me picturing a rickshaw with some other guy running along side to translate between me and the poor bastard pulling me around.
