I strongly encourage people to consider alternatives to cars. Personal electric vehicles have gotten insanely capable in the last few years. I live in a city, and last year I decided to purchase an electric scooter (Hiboy x300). It was so good that I decided to sell my car in favor of it. I can get around where I need to faster than I could by car in many cases, I don't have to worry about parking, and I can just "fill up" for cents in my apartment. I've even taken it out of state on the train to visit family.

This year I decided to pair it with an acoustic bike (Priority 600). The two main issues I have with the scooter are cargo capacity (can only carry what I can fit in my backpack) and that it's not exactly water proof, and so I was hesitant to ride in bad weather. For me, an acoustic bike pairs well with the electric scooter because I can carry basically any normal cargo, and it reduces the weather issue to only having to worry about what I'm wearing.

And yes, I live somewhere it snows in the winter. I bought a heated jacket, it's much cheaper than a car.
