Might as well trade the car in for an E-bike if you can. I’m estimating that just the savings on insurance and maintenance is saving me $2,500 a year. To say nothing if fuel. The E-bike has 3,500 miles on it over the last three years, cost me $800 (30% off sale) and I’ve spent ≈$50 on inner tubes and brake pads each year since.
Oh, and a tip I got from the bike shop. You know that fix a flat crap that you shouldn’t ever use in a car tire, as tire shops will refuse to work on the tire? With an inner tube tire it’s much safer to use when you inevitably pick up something from the road and get a slow leak. Just don’t use the whole can.

would but my wife uses it. we did have two cars at one point but sold it because we didn’t use it.
besides, when I do have to travel it’s usually long drives that an ebike just couldn’t handle.
