sorry, but it seems you're an extreme outlier. disabled but not in a way the government recognizes, unable to use public transport (or e-/bikes) but able to operate cars. the problem here is that you don't seem to fall into any exempt category, so accommodating you would mean going back to the fully car centric city.
in my experience most of those people who would benefit from reducing car traffic and boosting alternate forms would be the disabled, elderly or kids and the poor.
additionally, riding bikes (even e-bikes) is not just for the healthy, it improves health. this might be of scant comfort for those who area already crippled by decades of dependence on cars, but i see it as an investment in the health of future generations. cycling for the "less than 50" is a far too low a number, there are plenty of 50 plus riders who leave me in the dust. many of the ladies i see riding around look like 70+.
