Is it possible to get a power-efficient setup to use one of these?

How often do you see drivers roll stop signs or rush amber lights? When's the last time you drove at or below the speed limit for an entire trip? I constantly hear drivers complaining about cyclists who pose no danger to drivers, meanwhile the drivers continue to exceed the speed limit, roll stop signs, and be one of the leading causes of death in this country despite having fully dedicated infrastructure everywhere.
Where I live, drivers continue to use the bike lane to turn right and for parking despite having a dedicated roadway. It kills and injures multiple people every year. The point being there are people who incorrectly use the existing infrastructure regardless of their mode of transport.
The difference is that bike routes in cities are incomplete and often have unsafe, pothole-riddled gutters with a painted line next to it as an excuse for infrastructure. People prioritise their safety even if that means not using a poorly designed bike lane.
Most people cannot afford it and we'd have to bulldoze tons of space to accommodate the parking.
However for those who enjoy racing as a hobby, I 100% agree that it's best to go to a track instead of endangering those around you and causing noise pollution.
Kei cars have been banned in Massachusetts, Georgia, Maine and New York with restrictions in Alabama and Arkansas.
Mobility is just as important for young people. The difference is that cars are much less affordable for young people who are choosing better alternatives such as transit and bikes.
The average new vehicle is $66,422 CAD and the average for a used vehicle is $37,662, as per autotrader.ca. A new vehicle is nearly the same as an entire year's salary of an average Canadian according to statscan and that doesn't account for the total cost of ownership.
Narrowing and traffic calming urban roads to where cars cannot pass cyclists would be a very difficult battle in Ontario where full sized fire engines respond to every call including for paramedics, demanding wide roads. Traffic calming has been fought tooth and nail by HOAs and many of the urban roads are stroads which cannot legally be traffic calmed with a 70km+ speed limit.
Sharing traffic between cyclists and motorists has been absolutely deadly and most people will not even attempt to ride a bicycle unless they hahe dedicated infrastructure in Ontario which Ford is trying to make illegal. Even if you follow your proposed vehicular cycling, the proposed legislation makes that more difficult too.
It's even nicer to have that big item delivered and still come out on top in gas savings.

They supplement and decentralise food production, building resiliency into our systems.
IMO this is a universal problem. I've had neighbours in a single family house that choose to mow their lawn at 7am on a Saturday and have a very loud pickup truck that I can hear start up any time they drive it.
17% of the US's Infrastructure & Jobs Act goes to transit. 67% goes to conventional highway programs
Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.
