When the weather is nice you could ebike.

e-biking RULES. You don't even have to pedal if you don't want to, the throttle works just fine (although it eats your battery life if you don't augment it with pedaling)

This kind of e-bike is not allowed (or it is, but with big caveats, more akin to motorcycles) on public European roads. Regular ebikes can't have a throttle and are heavily restricted on top speed (20 to 25km/h depending on the country. Can go faster but you're not helped by the motor over that speed).
