Yeah the last mile issue :). In Holland foldable bikes were the main way to solve that for a long time. Last years on-demand ov-fiets (public transport bike) were created to solve that. Around 4,8 euros for 24 hours. Really impressive and great system and most larger station have enough to serve most people. However I think at least in Holland the electric scooter (step) will transform this market. Beyond easy to take. Only 200-300 euros. Goes 25 km per hour. Main issue is Dutch law got strict after few incidents with new vehicles. But e-scooters are amazing vehicles for this. Although bikes are better for health. New e scooters are coming to the marketing and I think will transform the way we transport.

Is this electric bike for 4.8? If not, it's way too expensive.

  4 euros a day is great for for once or twice a week. They are in every city and you can use them whole day. Saving on taxi and public transport. Commercial rentals bikes are 10+ euro and not so fast and not located well If you are a long term commute, it’s cheaper to buy a second hand bike for 100-200 and a good lock for 40. Will take around 10 weeks to get it back.

  >Is this electric bike for 4.8? If not, it's way too expensive. I don't know about that. Where I live[0] it's US$4 for 30 minutes. As such, I think 4.8 for a whole day is pretty good. I don't use them, as I have my own bicycle, but people seem to really like them.

Scooter are actually small enough to take them with you everywhere. A single fold makes a scooter compact enough, that they could be accomodated on public transport I love bikes, I have 4, but they do not integrate with public transport - even folding ones require 3 folds, then fold of the pedals. The full sized ones take up loads of space on trains, and must be constantly held or they will fall over.

The traditional solution in The Netherlands is to just own two bikes, and have one stored at the train station closest to where you work/study.
