Funny thing is I’ve been thinking $1,500 isn’t a bad price for an alterative mode is transportation that isn’t a second car. I’ve even seen options that go over 750 watts of power, but those are classified as mopeds in my area, need to be licensed, and cannot use bike paths. An actual, classifiable electric bicycle does seem weirdly hard to find.
MotionEye may be worth looking into further. There is an add-on for it. I have used to before on a raspberry Pi to steam video of the washer in the basement so that I could know if it was done from the second floor.
