I always find it funny that people imagibe that in an apocalypse a modern fossil fuel vehicle would be any good. Unless you know how to modify the engine to use realistically self-producable fuel you will be able to run it for only a few months before all the fuel in the world degrades and starts destroying/not running the engine. Better off getting electric vehicles as electricity is actually easy to produce.

    A bicycle isn't a bad thing to have in an apocalypse. Not difficult to maintain, considerably faster and more efficient than walking, basically no infrastructure required.

    Unrelated? How would that apply to cars?

    Cars can be converted to run on wood gas.

    As I said, You would need to know how to modify your car for that.

    Batteries are for sure harder to make than petroleum.

    Lead-acid batteries aren't great, and you do need some care to recycle them to make them like new, but it can be done. They're good enough to run a small hauler that would be useful in and around your bunker.
