It seems that everybody and his dog are using those electric bikes all over Europe. There, the prices are not all that bad. I have yet to see an electric bike around this area!
I bought one of those small motor scooters to be able to leave the car at home (only when the weather is warm enough). They are pretty good, too. They give a little better range than electric bikes, and get you there faster (top speed 45 mph, and about 108 mpg).
I carry my scooter on the back of the coach on a motorcycle carrier attached to the hitch. It is pretty easy to load and unload.
