My sales to Europe have plunged 0%! Its all due to not being a racist asshole. Also I don't sale anything, I'm just a non racist person who doesn't sale anything to Europe at the moment.

I don't know about you but I drive over 5-10km regularly. For a short miserable stretch my daily commute was 90 miles. Buying household groceries or anything of size sounds annoying or impossible on bike. And then there's work tools and whatnot that many professionals keep in vehicle.

I tried it and in my country they're restricted to 15.5mph so largely did nothing for me as my route is out in the countryside.

I moved to an e-moped (like an electric vespa) and it's been amazing. About £1k to buy, £80 to insure and albeit restricted to 50mile range the equivalent mpg is something like 400mpg.

Naturally doesn't work if you need to carry kids or large objects around routinely but has been great for me

Not sure why buying groceries on a bike would be annoying or impossible. I do all my grocery shopping by bike, every single day, sometimes twice a day. Just bring a backpack.

As for ‘anything of size’, what would you need to transport? I still have a car, but I use it so little that I only need to buy gas maybe once or twice a year.
