Smaller electric vehicles to suit 99% of our needs. Bikes, trikes, small 4 seaters.
Sure, I'm eyeing a nice cargo bike for a year now. But that also is still tool expensive: I bought my second hand car 5 years for 6k€ and a cargo bike now is around 4k€
Yeah it is still expensive "for a bike" but you save on gas, insurance, maintenance, and health!
What about the winter? A bike isn’t going to get me to the ski hill, or even across town when it’s snowing or the roads are icy.
Even in the summer, I can’t put my mountain bike on a bike (yes I know). I can’t put my kayak on a bike.
