EVs are booming but electric bikes are really cutting emissions
Ebikes and mopeds, known as electric micromobility, were responsible for two-thirds of the 1.5m barrels of oil displaced a day by EVs in 2022

I've honestly been considering giving up my car for an electric scooter for the summer - my wife will keep her car, so we can still go to places with the family, but I don't need a car for my work commute. At the same time, I'm too lazy to wake up early enough to walk.
Helps that I live in a medium sized European town. Escooters and bikes are very viable - and you can rent them for a low fee too, from multiple providers (I do wish they didn't each require their own app, but of course they do).
Do it! Just think of all the insurance, gas and repair money you'll save.
I'd personally advise for an e bike rather than a scooter since it's more versatile and allows you to put bags on it to transport stuff, but that's personal preference of course.
There's no cargo scooters?
I assumed scooter meant something like this: https://mein-escooter.de/cdn/shop/products/102005_1z_M-Racing_ART_940x.jpg
Yeah households don't really need two cars, drop it down to one.
We have plenty of scenarios where two cars make sense, but for a while we can do without.
I took it as as a challenge and just started collecting scooter rental apps
