I had to temporarily move out. It took a few trips to move all my belongings.
No electric, so rather slow speed, but thankfully very little traffic here.

My favorites were the ones I'd see old ladies riding in town in the 90's. They were tricycles: one tire in front, and two in the back with a large basket between them. They'd go buy groceries and come back without straining themselves with the bags.
Those are still popular in factories. maintenance can put tools is the basket and get to the broke machine quickly.
they're still available, in electric even these days! Though tbh you'll also get by perfectly fine with a normal bike that has a basket on the back, yeah you'll have to lift it up and it'll be a little bit wiggly with the weight up high, but it's absolutely fine if you're in normal health.
I've always wanted one of these but lord knows I'd never get my money's worth out of it. I'm either shopping for stuff I can carry or enough stuff to necessitate a vehicle
Funny, for me it was old men riding these tricycles around town.
You can still buy those.
