In Finland you're allowed to park mopeds where ever you're allowed to park bikes aswell (as long as it's outdoors)

When I was 15 and had my 50cc scooter I remember the 5 litre gasoline tank lasting me about a week. Yeah it's still burning fossil fuels but at that rate the emissions are quite insignificant. Being 4-stroke it was quiet too and didn't make my clothes smell like exhaust fumes.

    Fair enough. Where I'm at on the Gulf Coast in the USA, there's like absolutely nowhere to park bikes outside, other than trying to find a sign or a pole or tree that's out of the way to lock it up to.

    And even then, you wouldn't want to lock an ebike up overnight outside, someone eventually will come along and cut the lock and steal it. ☹️
