You are better off getting a stand up E scooter or electric Unicycle. For $2-3K you can have a nice scooter around 2000-3000W with about 20-25Ah battery. Plenty of power and range to suit your needs.
Or if you want to stick with big roads get yourself a 49cc scooter. Insurance is cheap less than 200 a yr and depending on the scooter your fuel economy is like 1-2L/100km.

I actually called a broker and she told me $66 a year. I had to ask twice if 66 is per year, not per month. I think the $53 yearly registration is always the same, so the plating and registration is more expensive than the actual insurance. That was only for liability since apparently ICBC did not offer comprehensive/collision.
I'm seriously debating if I should go with a 49cc. 70km/h instead of dinky 32, I already have class 5 and for $100-$150 a year including the registration. And I get unlimited range vs 30-60km since I can always fill the 5L tank in a few minutes.
Only thing is that I can get that e-scooter for $500. I haven't seen any 49cc's under 1.5-2k.
