Save some money, get a bike. $350. Lose the stress of driving for simple tasks and enjoy life more like a kid would. It doesn't make much sense to haul around a car just to pick up the milk and butter.
GAS, PEOPLE ARE DYING FOR IT.

This electric bike is quite inexpensive -- other electric bikes range in price from $700 up to $3000 in the U.S. For half the price, this is a solid bike with good range and power. My bike arrived partly-assembled in a box. It took me about an hour to attach the seat, front wheel and pedals. The lead-acid battery took about 2 to 3 hours to come to full charge. The weight of this battery and the motor make the E-Zip a heavy bike.

Bikes are fine if you live in an area with compatible weather and terrain.

Like the Bay Area!

I tried to bike in Chicago and that is just not workable in winter. Or in really bad neighborhoods.

With the hilly bay area, if you are actually needing to climb hills, then I am not sure if this cheap one will do it.

However, I know this one rocks out for hills:

But the price is bigger.
