Perhaps a practical city trike for less than a thousand dollars. Three speed hub and steel construction, but that is fine for city commuting and utility use. WizWheels is a well thought of manufacturer.
If you displaced local trips with something like this (or any form of human powered vehicle) ,it might be the most cost effective green choice you can make. Mostly level ground would be within the capabilities of most people and the exercise would probably be beneficial. An athlete friend of mine would be a fantastic engine for something like this, but her legs are too long - but she is at the extreme. Most people should have no problem with something like this.
now if there were only more bike paths....
Of course if you want something less utilitarian and perhaps a bit exotic there are many interesting choices
